>The way I see this expressing itself is that older engineers who are up front about being ok with more median salaries tend to get hired. But how do you communicate that you're OK with a merely average salary? Just saying it outright sounds awkward and goes against every piece of advice I've seen. You need to communicate it before the interview, too, because I see many, many people here on HN who say they avoid even interviewing older people because they assume they will require more money.
