I had a really odd SECOND interview almost 2 weeks ago. (I posted about it in another bowl). Anywho, I was wondering why the interviewer came in with such a negative tone.. and it just hit me...AGEISM!! I'm not quite 40 but the more I think about it, that's definitely what it was. Any experience with this??

You should email the recruiter or their HR department about it, if for no other reason than to raise their blood pressure when you mention it was age-related.

Hi Friends,

I have total 11 years of experience in IT (Enterprise applications:Oracle Weblogic) and 4 years in DevOps, Git, Google Cloud, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes. Currently working with Accenture India. I have been trying for almost a month in LinkedIn (applying for jobs as directly messaging recruiters) for opportunities in London, however not getting any positive response/interview calls.

If anyone working in UK can refer me in their organization, would be really helpful

Ps. When I followed up on candidacy they were still making decision for weeks. I let them know I had another opportunity hoping it would hurry them up and ended up not taking the other opportunity. Could it be they rejected me bc of the other offer? The hiring manager seemed to think I’d be a great fit.
