[quote=The-Shoveler]For what it’s worth one of the guys we hired from Canada was in his late fifties.
I see engineers at Cisco in their 50’s all the time.
I think you can get away with that in tighter labor markets like San Jose, I tell you it’s really crazy up there.
Don’t know how much longer that will last but if you have software talent and you really need a Job (and cannot find one in SD of course), that’s the place to go.
My two cents given the two options, (20 percent pay cut and haul my own stuff to TX) or San Jose I would head north, but that’s just my opinion.[/quote]
I guess I should have put in the disclaimer as well that the “age” rule typically doesn’t apply in Silicon Valley when it’s cooking like it is right now.. and probably will be for some time….I kept my a home up there just in case I would ever return there….Still get a lot of callbacks from old colleagues asking when/if I’m going to return… Unfortunately, things haven’t gotten so crazy to re-allow working remotely from San Diego (yet)….Maybe give it some more time….
Ok, maybe I’m just getting too old…..Been there, done that….
