Recently, I had the opportunity to do some number crunching on actual outcomes data for one of the tier 1 bootcamps. (all its years of operation to date) I discovered that some major changes needed to be made in their business model in orde

And who can afford to have $15,000 taken off the top of their salary between $51,000 and $100,000? I hope this graduate can find remote work and live in a tent in a national park campground nearby a major tech employment city with a killer

but then one has to be affluent enough to afford to not work for the time it takes to do a mountain of pre-work and then get educated or re-educated, or for many in the USA, re-re-educated, and then one has to then afford to remain unemploy

I'm glad someone said it. Merit= very short bootstraps. This is a much denied truth here in the US, where everyone is so desperate to believe in our national mythology of anyone who works hard can do anything and be anything they want

you may want to start listing it and take advantage of the ageism in your favor while you can. :) I had a 28 year old friend who was getting botox a few years ago. I could not believe it; they looked so young to me. They told me I didn&#x27

Actually, the real estate was reasonable in the Santa Clara Valley/South Bay before they came along and made it $$$$$$. The same would happen in the Midwest. Look at Denver. So, yeah, they do care about cheap.

Younger. More eager for the position? I doubt it. In fact I have moved on again and again, like so many here. You are speaking directly to discrimination that is illegal in the United States. We have a formal complaint process. I've ne

and using your model/analogy, everyone at the company must "be on the same culture page" with company at every stage? In the life model with which this is supposed to correlate for illustrative purposes, teens and tweens have

So, you are saying that at each phase, the company should hire employees that are tweens, teens, and then young adults in correlation to the phase the company is in at a given moment? It's like this imaginary business is all done on MI

You're absolutely right! My grandparents too. Pure Americana. The speaking of it is old fashioned. It's the writing it out like that "welp." in text that is pure Millennial whoop. I salute it.

This would be your choice to make, and it seems you get to make it. Great! But the point is: so many do not because employers make it for them by discriminating against them based on their age.

The logic here goes like this: Oh no. Here is this person who is confident and seems to be pretty chill and nice. They are expert at what they do and seem truly interested in it enough to have done lots of independent work in their field ju

The fact that you use the slang term "welp" means you still have hope! You aren't 40 yet, probably. If you are... way to stealth, tiger!

It is difficult to hide your age. LinkedIn makes it impossible. If you want to be competitive, you need to share your accomplishments. If they are actual accomplishments, they are Gooogleable in a simple search anyhow. Hiding your age by le
