I’m mid-40s. 40 is such a mystical number. Almost immediately after I hit 40, interest in me dropped 95%.

I’ve interviewed at 4 places since, but I’m 0-4. That’s mostly my fault. I never adapted to the new style interviews. I still expect to show my experience and successes and walk out with an offer.

interviews you have to study for. Before the 2010s, every interview I went to took 2 hours. You had a meeting with the manager and one with the team. They’d decide pretty quickly and give an offer. simpler times. No hazing
