I am in a very similar position. I always answer truthfully and I'm open to the question, people are often just curious - I don't want to work with people who judge based on age anyways.
- evex 8y agoI would like to be truthful, but I think age is often something recruiters think of like: "He is young, he doesn't have much responsibility, let's give him 0.5x instead of x". I'm not really sure about this, it's just how I feel. I would like to hear from a recruiter about this
- TomMarius 8y agoAs I said, I don't want to work with people that judge based on age. You should know the market, and if you see they're doing this, then just leave.
- Rainymood 8y agoSo the opinion of a 9 year old on the current American political climate is just as important as that of a 34 year old? We all judge, constantly. You're judging people based on the fact that they judge on age, that's also judging on some arbitrary measure.
- TomMarius 8y agoOP said he's 20, not 9, and we're talking about IT, not politics, a whole different issue. Taking it to the extreme is not helpful to the discussion at all. I never said that judging is bad in general; I said that judging [adults'] capabilities based on age is bad. Context matters.
