You write most importantly about ageism and then by the way about “dont fancy doing all the BS prep needed for interviews anyway”

I’ve worked with plenty of non management engineers in your age group in corporate America. Absolutely none of them got their job by trying to skip what the rest of us have to do to interview. There’s your problem

Pointless tech interviews are a well rehearsed topic on HN and I referred to that. I don't mind prepping for interviews but not spending 6 months doing leetcode exercises about weird trees & stuff I'll never implement.
