The common culture/perspective point is the most important single factor in the old vs young workplace decision.
It's the 'Hey nineteen' phenomena.
At almost 50 the desire to spend 8 hours a day with 20-30 year olds, encouraging enthusiasms, persevering in mentoring and then learning/acceptance of new ideas/tools, being persuasive about experiences in project scope/direction and contributing as part of a growing creative team effort is exhausting.
