Ask HN: Is there an industry where older age is a positive?

Come to Google. At least here in our Waterloo, Ontario office we have plenty of very smart and capable engineers continuing to write code and be respected for it well into our graying years.

I myself am surprised how fast I went from 'youngest guy on the team' to 'oldest coder on the team'. But it hasn't been a liability here.

That's not a realistic option for most people in tech, older or not.

Will you be willing to share which country you live? In some countries, there are policies to hire older worker or people of diversity but it will depend on the country you live.

I am not sure if they really value the wisdom of older workers but medical companies seem to have older workers in average.

Just find a place that makes you happy, if your colleagues or wherever you are applying for not happy about you there, don't force yourself.

I think you mean well but this is not very helpful.
