> There's not enough talent in US

The hiring pool could be larger, but HR and hiring managers don't want men over 50.

There is no hidden pool of SWE talent over 50. The number of engineers that are over 50 now is going to be roughly equivalent to the number software engineers there were 30 years ago, which is maybe 5% of the number today.
