Right now, for me, I think my age. I have interviewed for several development positions these past 3 months and no offers. One of them I had 4 interviews and they still picked someone else. What I am finding is that I am interviewing with a lot of young people, just finishing with college.
I had one job offer where I was told by the CEO that he really wanted to hire someone out of college but if I was willing to work for $29,000 a year he would give me the job.

- King-Aaron 9y ago> There’s no CEO on the planet FYI other countries exist on this planet outside of the United States. In Australia a fresh-from-uni undergrad could expect to make 30k on their first posting.
