Frankly, companies who cut you for being older are not companies that are worth putting your faith into because they don’t respect your historical, institutional knowledge. Also if you’re getting unsolicited bumps from your employer you should be more concerned you’re underselling vs overselling yourself

The only software-developing organization I know of that truly values institutional knowledge is the U.S. Dept. of Defense.

Civil-service rules make it very difficult to fire most employees anyway, but that dovetails nicely with an appreciation for institutional knowledge.
