Is it crazy to not take a great job because the hiring manager is slightly younger than I am?

Yep.

To elaborate: this will only get worse for you. If you intend to be in this business long term you will eventually -and sooner than you think- be in a situation where not only is the hiring manager younger than you, but so is 75% of the office, and the interns weren’t even born yet when you started. This is an ageist industry, and if you don’t want that to bite you in the ass halfway through your career, stop being part of the problem right damn now.

Seems kind of ridiculous for a business to want to waste so much time to find out after a handful of interviews that the pay isnt aligned with my needs ......

I understand this might sound a little snobby but I'm not trying for it to come off that way. I've been around impressive people throughout my adult life.

My girlfriend's sister works at a Fortune 500 company and views herself as very accomplished. She's not a good person. I also don't find her impressive so I don't particularly try
