In any good place to work, specific tool experience shouldn't matter unless the company is in a very specialized niche. This is especially true considering you come in with 30 years experience.
To be honest, it sounds to me like the headwinds you're really encountering are ageism and your interviewers are trying to throw you off that scent for liability reasons.
- ghaff 4y agoOver and above outright ageism, 30 years of experience also comes with commensurate expectations and, even if not necessarily a specific tool, organizations probably won't hire someone that senior if their experience is only tangentially related to that needed for a role. Someone who is junior you might go "They're bright, they'll pick it up." Hiring a senior person is often about hiring in skills you don't have internally and need.
