A bit of commentary on age discrimination in IT. Of course, it exists. If you are over 40 and go on an interview where the interviewer is a 20 something kid you know what I mean. My approach to age discrimination can be summed up this way. Screw them. I have more experience and knowledge in the field than 99% of the people working in it, especially the managers. And I project that in an interview. I don't give a crap what they think of my age and I make sure they know that. I have what they need and they would be better off recognizing that. Does that attitude work every time? Of course not. But I will be dammed if I will be submissive and put up with age discrimination. To hell with them. If they don't give me a job, some with better sense will. The key is NEVER GIVE UP.
