Got multiple job offers here in Houston at age 59, and am happily working as a design engineer here, while getting paid what my previous employer paid me as Engineering Manager.
Depends on where you are I guess.
And with VASTLY improved benefits - forgot to mention that, but important to us senior citizens: 3 weeks vacation to start, a Cadillac medical plan, excellent life insurance, best 401K I’ve ever heard about, etc.
I would LOVE to be in Texas!
I very nearly got a job in Houston a few years back. Aced the interview, they loved me, I loved them.
I knew their product inside and out, having built the original prototypes, had critical design inputs, and developed all the secret sauce in the manufacturing process.
Two days after my interview their 90% of their business customer bounced their last check and blandly informed them they would be placing no new orders for a full year.
