I don’t see age as a deterrent if you are good at what you do.

Where it is gut wrenching is the guy in his 50’s with a brain disorder that has trouble communicating. I scraped him off the floor more than a couple times. The guy worked like a gd beaver but struggled to communicate. I worry about his future. I just gave a phone interview to a recruiter on his behalf.

Some of us old people know things and can make stuff happen immediately. Been laid off three times due to buy outs. Had opportunities to move twice but OH and TX didn't cut it from CO. Third one was a job we moved for, paid off all bills, purgatory in Charlotte and ended up being laid off and moving back to CO before our own deadline of 3 years.

Opportunities may not look like the old style types these days. Determine what you need to live, keep an open mind, and let it come to you.

i have quite a bit of time in the start up and no pay... the start up is trying not to sell equity for cash. I am not an owner, but hopefully a very large check will come in the relatively near future. maybe I will get some equity... I am not holding my breath

Sorry, but this sounds like a recipe for disaster (for you). Either get a clear agreement in writing that includes equity, or run away as fast as you can. You are being used.

then there is the matter of calling an employment situation a "hostage situation." yuck yuck!! like i said, such a tragedy.

sorry, skidog! it obviously was a semi-throwaway comment that had nothing to do with you. who knew the tgr's asshole justice warriors would be so triggered?

it's somebody I have a relationship with and trust

i'm doing some interesting work in an area I am weak in and want to get better

Agreed. Most of our software developers and other tech staff are in the 40s-50s age group. They have experience, talent, maturity, and were willing to take a bit less money in exchange for not having to work massive hours. We've also had good luck with a few new grads - no experience but talented, hungry and willing to learn. They are moving up fast and relatively inexpensive (for now). Good mix...

I'd also add - save/invest a shitload and get the fuck out early.

No. Spook started it trying to be clever. Look at his m.o:

He gets kicked off the golf course. Not his fault
He falls on his snowboard. REI’s fault.
He falls off the lift. Old mans fault
Gets hit on the slope. Other guys fault.

And on and on.

So he comes into a thread about people losing there jobs, when he’s never had a job, and he turns it into mein kampf.

I give him credit. He’s good at it. Fishing for empathy he’s a real pro.

haha, poor bitter, racist 4matic. not even close to reality. fishing for empathy for myself is the last thing i am concerned with. your rigid brain can't distinguish basic motivations so you fill in the blanks with your comfort judgment that confirm your selective memory and general ignorance about what you're talking about, even in the face of demonstrably, completely contradictory reality.

keep swinging. the only thing i give you credit for is being consistent.

Hmmm, OK, I’m not going to argue about it. But the whole idea in working for a startup is to work like a dog long hours for no or little pay in exchange for a piece of the pie that can possibly pay off later. If they are not willing to give you a piece now, don’t expect them to be more generous later.

I guess if you are learning, and aquiring a skill, that’s something though. Better than doing nothing at all.

Sorry to hear. Had to deal with that last year due to an idiot upstairs in the org. Got a different job in the same org and maxed out my performance rating while he's now about to be laid off.
Let me know if you need any mock interview practice or anything.

Thanks man will do.

I'm trying to possibly get with the company we split from as I built all their backend azure infrastructure. Turn key employee and they had nothing to do with my being laid off. Can't hurt to try.
