Many tech companies such as Google, meta, Apple don’t bother to respond to resumes with years of experience and strong talent. I have seen the same job being filled by younger candidates. Do you sense age discrimination?

To add insult to injury, many people are attempting to redefine age discrimination such that people who are unqualified/too inexperienced for jobs are crying that they aren't being picked for jobs because they are too young. Sorry but no...
The worst part is seeing the TCs on here - assuming that the people with < 2 yoe are telling the truth, it makes me nauseous when they say they are getting $250k TC packages and they deserve more. Many people at my age range if they aren't executives would consider that to be a great package and it's still not enough for them? WTF?
It's beyond frustrating to say the least.
So the longer you stay in this game practice leetcode and system design and apply them in real work, less and less people can compete with you. No?
Awesome! /s
EDIT: it’s not a counter argument to ehat OP said, I just needed an outlet to vent.
The average PhD is going to need hand holding like a junior dev before they can actually put out something production ready.
School is school and work is work. Sure if you're doing something ultra domain specific academic knowledge can be huge, hence PhDs making huge money at certain companies working on stuff like ML and optics
But besides that, sorry if someone lied and got you thinking your Masters would help make you money. Academia is academia.
Would it be better if they don't get a job at all? Maybe that would be better.
Be grateful - seven years at a lower tier company with a broken product doesn't mean they are as good as a company with lots of customers and has scaled properly.
That being said, it's not that way with marketing people. It's harder to go from 0 to 100M than it is to go from, say 100M to 250M. Companies don't take that into consideration - It's harder to scale up than scale down.
40 you’re supposed to be retired in Malta.
45 you’re supposed to be throwing money at start ups to see which one sticks.
50 you’re a “boomer” and supposed to be in a nursing home not bothering the younguns.
Get with the program! /s
