I'm 'only' 28 and I worry constantly about this as 30 gets closer and closer. When you're the oldest developer you have to work much harder to justify still being employed, but not so hard that they start to worry about you jumping ship for 5-10k more.

The only people around my company that are around your age are the owners and the directors that report to them.

yeah, you shouldn't worry that much, there are an awful lot of tech companies where the average age is higher.

And, when you're 30, you're a much better developer than when you're 20, definitely worth the price difference.

Stop worrying and jump ship for 5-10k more because it seems you work in a toxic environment.
