Yep.

Oddly the number one way to insure that no one wants to hire you is be an engineer over age 55.

Apparently that is one soft skill utterly repugnant to companies.

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.
