Plenty of others I'm sure will speak to whatever explicit ageism is out there in hiring, but there is a lot of tacit ageism as well. Even post-pandemic, most "FAANG" type companies still seem to insist on you living in Seattle or San Francisco. So if you do, good on you. If you don't, well if you're unmarried and don't have kids, it's probably pretty easy to relocate. If you don't want to uproot a family, or it's not entirely your say because your spouse has their own career and doesn't just follow you around the country, or you have medical issues and a good relationship with a provider near you and don't want to have to find a new one, it's more challenging. Same thing obviously applies to kids and spouses with medical issues as well. They may need to live where you already live. Ability and willingness to drastically change your life for a job correlates pretty heavily with age. It's especially frustrating when you say all of this on your public profiles and recruiters are constantly hitting you up with positions that require relocation anyway.
