Sure, but here are some prejudices people will have about you going into an interview:

- You don't want to work enough (~80hr/weeks).

- You aren't familiar with new technologies or languages, and aren't curious enough to learn.

- You think slow, and don't have the ability to push stuff out the door quickly.

- You want a senior position as an "architect" or "senior engineer" instead of being an IC like everyone else.

- You want a bigger salary than everyone else.

- It's going to be hard for people to relate to you and communicate with you.

If you can fight against all of those, go for it.
