Title: I&#x27;ve spent last year interviewing only to find out that I&#x27;m considered too old (I&#x27;m 45) for most shops around. They won&#x27;t spit it out directly of course but people talk and what they say is that I need to be stellar or young to be hired. Companies won&#x27;t invest in me the slightest bit, so the moment I miss a question in the long interview process I&#x27;m out of the door without second thought.<p>So...<p>1. I might be banging the wrong doors. E.g. FAANGs don&#x27;t seem to be right. Any companies that don&#x27;t drink&#x2F;sell the youth cool-aid?<p>2. I might be searching at the wrong job boards. Any suggestions welcome.<p>3. Finally I might be better doing sth else altogether (but what?) rather than fighting a loosing battle against preconceptions that run so deep.<p>Anyway. Thanks for any non-insulting answers in advance.<p>PS: I&#x27;m based in EU and I&#x27;m a SW Dev working mainly in DevOps and Reliability.
