It can be fairly trivial to hide your age and if you’re doing remote work using filters will make you look deceptively young. By the time the company ever finds out your actual age it’s too late. You should also avoid revealing your age to coworkers or other clues that may hint your age.

- bee_rider 3y agoNow I’m imagining a whole company full of 40 year olds unsuccessfully impersonating 20 year olds, but nobody can tell because we’re all using the same outdated slang. “You really yeeted that code review,” the term leader says, a slight waver in his voice as he wonders if this will be the one that gets him caught. “Yes it was yolo,” nods the coder. They quickly break up the meeting, happy to have survived the interaction. Actually I think I have to update my slang too…

- xwdv 3y agoYou don’t need to reveal 20 years of experience. You could talk about how many years of experience will satisfy them. If they ask for 5 years of experience with some tech stack talk about stuff you did with it 7 years ago and onward. Be vague. A person of less experience will get the job and be paid the same as you anyway.
