Good point! No, we deselect them after at least an interview, during which we find out that they are either crazy expensive or ossified. :D

- bryanrasmussen 7y agoOk, well I don't think I'm ossified but I'm crazy expensive (basically as it isn't worth moving from my job, especially taking the time to do inevitable take home project, I require a 16% pay hike to consider it which puts me at the highest rate for Danish programmers with my level of seniority in Copenhagen according to surveys) So I wonder - is there any relation of crazy expensive and ossified in your experience? Are crazy expensive programmers just as likely to be ossified as not (I knew a DB guy that I thought was a little ossified about 11 years ago and I thought he was crazy expensive) If they are crazy expensive but not ossified maybe that argues experience and always learning new things which might be a sign of someone being worth the crazy expensive (obviously I like to think I'm worth what people keep paying me)
- anticristi 6y agoI have nothing against crazy expensive and experienced, and, once I can afford it, I will definitely choose it. However, a general trend to deselect candidates because on an expectation of them being crazy expensive does not sound ageist to me. Hence, if this whole "let's fight ageism in tech" trend is to be taken seriously, the phenomenon needs to be better described and understood.
