I'm a similar sort of age, and having trouble finding something this year - not that this year isn't a terrible time to be looking for anyone, of course. I was actually the oldest engineer in my previous place, out of over 70. I seem to have found myself in a couple of catch-22 situations - I have both wide/shallow experience and narrow/deep, but if I'm looking for senior positions that means mostly only the deep experience counts, which means I've got narrow skills. I'm also a Brit based in Hong Kong, who doesn't speak Cantonese - not a huge barrier, generally, but it just further narrows my opportunities. I've actually had a couple of people this week ask if I'd be interested in something remote for a North American company, but working at least partly in their timezone, which doesn't really seem sensible, given it would mean destroying my social life and/or sleep... I'm recently mostly a backend web/API dev working in PHP and Python/Django, but I've done Unix kernel work, written a few Android apps, and a few other random things. I've worked in large companies, in a local unicorn, and as a solo freelancer. I'm not necessarily sure it's age itself that's a problem, but maybe a combination of factors where age is part of the cause/effect chain? To be clear, as well as my thoughts, this is also a "hire me, please?" post!
