Applied for 2 jobs at big companies last week. Fully qualified for the positions. No luck. Google my name and my age will come up - we don wanna this old wreck!
Actually it turns out to be the best thing that could've happened. The wife & I are building our own business and stand to do far better than the subsistence level income corporations typically offer. At least theres the hope we will.
Personally I'm glad I'm out of high tech - its a miserable world to waste a life in.
I'm pretty sure it was more of a case of "ageism" than "racism".
