   😔 that is not nice. In, IT industry experience is becoming more a liability than an asset.

     @nixCraft the older you are the more you know how much you’re worth. They need someone more exploitable.

     @nixCraft Can anyone under 50 years old be competent in senior roles?

     This is yet another problem of recruitment having totally separate goals from business or tech. Silly gatekeeping and reducing the amount of applicants in any possible way.

     Random keywords, CV fonts, mandatory office days, age,... Just modern equivalents of rating handshakes.

     @nixCraft It's a crazy world we live in! The population is aging, there are many vacancies, chatGPT replaces experience. I'm worried about how it will all turn out?🙈

     Imagine being a woman in the industry with the exact same resume: Those sorts of dismissive comments would have been the be the norm from the beginning of your career, first about your gender, then later your “experience”.

     Us white guys don’t usually have personal experience with employment discrimination until later in our careers when everyone started noticing our age. If we are lucky, we are reminded of our own patterns of bias & discrimination when we were young whippersnappers…

     @nixCraft hey, if you happen to be a woman this happens to you in your 40s. Tech loses experience through its misogyny and ageism every day.

     @nixCraft sadly many companies will always go for cheap and inexperienced then when dealing with the fallout of hiring cheap and inexperienced, throw more cheap and inexperienced at the ensuing dumpster fire. HR teams often have no idea about hiring IT, senior management little more and expectations seems to be 1 person to handle _all_ aspects of the IT/dev ops where a team of 5+ would really be bare minimum...

     @nixCraft The recruiter has a boss, probably older. Call him.

     @nixCraft a friend got hired, because he was older. Young ones were missing the experience to deal with old UNIX systems.
