Depends 10 years exp is different than 1 yr 10x.
Elaborate.
If you spent working in the same systems with limited to no exposure to new tech. That’s equivalent to doing the same job over and over. Compare that to deepening your knowledge year over year.
I hired someone with 30 yr exp in their sixties
This poll revealed less bias than I had thought there would be overall. However with nearly 1 in 4 participants saying they wouldn’t hire anyone over 40, the bias displayed is more pernicious than I thought it would be.
Almost 40% won’t touch anyone in 50s/60s
Better start saving to retire at 45.

Thank you AAPL and NVDA
It’s not the age that matters, it’s their cognitive ability. And that truly does decline beyond a certain point. But the point at which they can no longer leetcode effectively is different for everyone.
“Truly does decline beyond a certain point.” <— This is what ageism sounds like, folks.
Unless you are talking about dementia or chronic fatigue in old age, I call bullshit. People in their 60s and 70s who are still working can be very cognitively sharp. If you would presume or imagine otherwise because of their age, then you’re an ageist.
