Ask HN: How is the Software Engineer market for 45 year olds?
You didn&#x27;t say where in the world you are.<p>This is of paramount importance.<p>After 40, which unfortunately for me coincided with the credit crunch, my tech career withered and nearly died. I lived in London and was too old to find work in IT, and I had no more luck across Western Europe, where ageism is endemic and entrenched.<p>Luckily for me I came across a role in Central Europe, relocated there, and never looked back.<p>But it very much depends where in the world you are, and the English-speaking world is particularly bad for this in my experience.
