I changed jobs when I was over 50 and it was certainly tough. Hiring via the front door process didn't work for me. My best performances were typified by (i) the recruiter would push me as a good fit for a difficult-to-fill (ugly even) role because I had maturity and gravitas as well as technical skills, (ii) the shop had grey heads/beards already, (iii) I was known and vouched for by someone already on the inside.
