This is my perspective from the US. I think it depends on the industry. Two industries I've been in that don't care what age you are; Transportation and Healthcare. There are interesting jobs in both depending on what your interests are. I'm near 50 now and nobody is ushering me out the door yet. I do think that as you get older people expect more of you. You need to understand the business and be able to provide solutions to real business problems. You'll be in contact more often with upper management/CTO and you need to be on point.
