Old Techies Never Die; They Just Can’t Get Hired
I will be writing a lot about this topic -- since I have been refurbished a few times already and I have worked for 'younger' bosses who thought they knew it all. The last was at Google where I did get fired (March 2010) because of my age but they were able to dance around it because I didn't have 'development' skills -- I was in their desktop video technical support. My (0,0,0) at that time was Albany NY.
There is lots of reasons these younger, hipper people don't hire the old people -- but the problem is that it will eventually catch up with them as it did when I worked at Microsoft. I have a few tales that I will wind out later.
My point is that an individual has to have something so interesting that a company can't refuse to at least hire the person on a contract. From there, it is up to you. That's the best, you will get in these days. And maybe that's all you want anyway.
