> The sad reality is that if you’re over 50 you need to be applying to positions that are “age appropriate” which usually implies management. Nope. My LinkedIn dates me by college graduation date, but it still generates 2-3 inquiries a day for engineering roles. My background has certain trendy buzzwords and the recruiters are interested. As far I can tell, employers are looking for skills and attitude, and don't much care about anything else. Would a startup want me? Dunno, haven't tried in a while.
