imagine u earn $5-6K+ for a long time, and will u consider earning $3.5K to start all over again ur 40s? and report to someone who is 10, 15 years younger than u? and when ur friends gathering, they ask what are u doing, u might feel inferior when u earn x2 x3 of ur salary lol.

not many people can do that leh unless it's true passion for that particular role/industry

In my workplace, I met 2 foreign seniors who are 4 and 5 years younger than me, having same or higher level of education than me, plus having 2-3 more years of working experience than me. (Imagine at 19 finish Masters already).

Age is no longer a factor to determine experience especially in the new world of global competition. Need to eat your own ego to move on.

age discrimination is real.

age may be old. mindset is more important

no ?

u ever heard of age discrimination ?

u sure u workin or not ? why most of ur post sound like from someone who never work before one ?

age discrimination is crazy , its worse in tech lol maybe u blind or what but people will always compare age and if they see a junior who is 5-10 years old than them , they will look down on him / her .
