No kids? What the? I've never seen that. Time to sue 😂
They hinted at it, but nah, not worth the hassle of going through that.
Yet I fit all those requirements and still can’t find a job 9 months post graduating
Ugh, I’m really sorry to hear that. Fingers crossed 2026 brings better luck and some good momentum your way!
Definitely, I got turned down for the executive masters program at work because of age and family. So I just found a different route. I didn't stay and work longer, I went to take different classes at NYU. After I finished I moved to a different division. I don't think they were pleased. Don't let anything or anyone stop you.
That is pretty shocking. There's a lot of ageism in business, but for legal reasons it's usually kept below the surface. It generally emerges in roundabout ways, such as hiring managers being careful not to bring up age directly yet working it in by asking when you were in school, for instance.
Curious, was it an external or internal recruiter?
