In my company we recently hired a 45yo and he did work a lot more than me a 30yo. We are also hiring a 55yo. It will depend if you fit the job and how motivated are you

As older I get I feel I have to work harder to keep myself motivated and keep looking for the right position/area to work in. It is very easy to just get comfortable, get stale, feel everything like it is moving too fast, and loose interest

In general I think it is true that there is some discrimination, not in all companies. But because there are so many opportunities you might just have to look a bit more

And you can definitely have the upper hand for mixed jobs: biology specialist for data analysis; automated testing for a medical app; consultant on ML training for disease detection. And probably most health related companies
