You're probably a young'n. This is what everybody thinks until they hit the point in their life where they realize there is more to life than just work (family, friends, hobbies, etc). You'll be complaining soon enough.
- zepolen 8y agoAnd you have demonstrated your attention to detail by not bothering to check that my hn account is older than yours.
- ValleyOfTheMtns 8y agoWow, account age dick measuring... didn't think I'd see this on HN. Also, what does account age have to do with actual age (which is what we're talking about here)?
- ivalm 8y agoAre you implying that the age of your HN account relates in any way to your age? Someone who is sub-30 could have a 2008 account.

It would be age discrimination if employers wouldn’t even invite you for an interview, thinking “(s)he’s 50, so (s)he must be wise enough not to fall for the crap story we tell the gullible”. As long as there are employers where work-life balance is a better match with what you want out of life, I wouldn’t worry about it. And I think there are, certainly in Europe.
