I’m 50 and the offers stopped coming in 2022

- Jgrubb 2y agoAgree w the other poster, 22 is when the music stopped for most of the industry.
- ghaff 2y agoMore optimism may be creeping back in but there's still a lot more hesitancy, caution, and conservatism in my experience than there was for much of the last decade+ (except probably in AI which is pretty hot overall). It's also not clear how hiring is distributed by seniority. On the one hand, I hear that things are tougher for junior people without networks. On the other hand, I hear that filling slots opened up by attrition are tending to go to more junior/cheaper people.
- cranberryturkey 2y agoi think elon and trump are gone farm whatever jobs are left out to india.
- angoragoats 2y agoI'm in my 40s and I (and the entire team I worked on) was laid off in 2022. After taking a week or so to relax, I was able to find a new position within about 4 weeks, which I'm still at now, and has turned out to be one of the better roles I've had in my career. I realize this is just another anecdote, but don't be discouraged by the other posters here -- companies value people with lots of experience.
