Ask HN: Any job boards and age-friendly companies for older developers?

Where in the EU are you? I'm 43, living in Berlin and working as a software engineer. From what I can tell there is not much age bias here. Some German companies I know have an average age beyond 45 in dev teams.

I even interviewed with a FAANG for a Berlin-based engineering position 2 years ago but canceled the process myself. Being over 40 did not seem to be an issue at all.

I'm in Dublin but I'm looking to either move up to a FAANG (well that plan went the Titanic way) and/or relocate to Germany. My impression too is that German IT companies don't care so much about age but there are other handicaps for me there (e.g. not speaking German).

Not much age bias in Berlin IT job market? Weird. I mostly see start-ups there. That might be interesting.

I bet it's London, the kingdom of the young cool professional.
