I’m 64 with several backgrounds and applying to jobs being overqualified and excepting less money, but being turned down. I can’t believe that I’m not getting hired. They say they are looking at other candidates. Can they discriminate because of my age? That’s what I heard. They would rather hire young kids who don’t care how much they get paid. Have only found this to be true in Florida. Any thoughts?

I'm the same age and feel defeated and demoralized. Whenever I see descriptions for 'energetic', 'dynamic' and 'innovative' be aware that this is code for under 30, despite your past experience and expertise.

I got an offer at Meta as a 3-mo contingent CSM that pays 2x what I make now.

Two pros: 1) Making the jump from a non-tech agency role to FAANG can be tough, so this is a great oppo in that aspect.
2) I'm living in SF on a non-tech salary, so the pay increase would be incredible.

It’s possible I could move into a similar role @ Meta once this expires, but to be safe, I'd need to start the job hunt again asap.

Thoughts on the pivot & how valuable a short-stint at Meta is for future job hunt?
