I’d feel okay about it because my ego isn’t that fragile. Someone younger than me can teach me many things depending on a confluence of their education ( not just formal) and work experience

I would take it as a comment on my own mediocrity and just do my best.

I had a manager in my late 20s that ended up reporting to me in my late 30s, we have worked great together either way.

I was interviewed and hired by younger staff and I work for a younger manager now. I have learned a lot from them and they have learned from me. Unless you are super insecure, age is really irrelevant. It’s about professionalism, respect and the skills people bring to the table

Get over yourself. At some point you will have a boss that is younger than you are. Don’t worry about the age and keep focusing on your work. As hard as it is, there will be times when you start interacting with people who are smarter and younger than you. Accept it, know your limitations, be happy, and move on.

Hi all, I got laid off from my current company (product based) a month ago. Since then I've been looking for new opportunities.

I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.
