So at 15, I was offered a paid internship at IBM Almaden in the field of dark matter research. Unfortunately, the laws at the time prevented anyone under 15.5 from holding a job (it's since changed to 14). From ages 15-19, I was constantly solicited with interview offers. I could surmise this was based more on youth halo rather than anything else, because what does a kid know? At 43, I get interview requests for FAANG-level companies several times per year without a LinkedIn account or a résumé. The main things I have going for me are I don't look 43 and I date college girls. Maybe that helps keep me from seeming coasting, declining, and/or stogy. I can't type as fast as I did at 20, but I pace myself (I gave myself RSI from not working-out enough and typing too much without breaks.) I never want to "retire" but move to different roles and/or fields before either I or the field declines. To me, retirement is death either by boredom, distractions, idleness, or decline.
