Not only this view of attracting young blood comes as a discrimination in disguise but also rather it has become an industry norm to hire young talent because of the resistance shown by the experienced/senior level in terms of re-skilling and get accommodated to the new technologies. Also, for any business/startup the time taken to ship things to production is a key factor to stay ahead of competition. In this way, businesses naturally opt-out for a skilled worker rather than training a newbie. Though there should be a fair balance between both of them to attain a sustainable growth in the long run.
- goatinaboat 7y agothe resistance shown by the experienced/senior level in terms of re-skilling and get accommodated to the new technologies When you have been around a while you start to notice that new technologies are mostly just old ideas with worse implementation than the originals. It’s not resisting genuine innovation, just seeing through the bullshit of the latest “framework” or whatever.
- arparthasarathi 7y agoThis turns out to be a more generalized statement because we can't just limit ourselves to the technological companies but also take into consideration of different industries starting from manufacturing, construction and varied other fields. Though I agree the resistance shown may be sometimes due to worst implementations of new technologies but at most of the cases it is not the same. Also, agility is another important factor that takes the businesses to different horizons.

- arparthasarathi 7y agoIt turns out be more redundant work than being a valuable or a smart work.
