Hey right over here everyone!!! This is called ageism.

If you write code and you are over 35, you are toast. Yes even you the "above average coder"...done and done.

Now wait till that immigration bill passes, make 150k? GOOD ___ing BYE.

In SV, maybe. Hopefully not so much elsewhere or I'm gonna have a hard time paying off my student loans...

[zpk]

I hate the fact you have to say that...it pisses me off to hear this. I was lucky I had minimal loans, and school was 1/2 the cost. If I can give a word of advice, spend less on car #1 and attack that loan, pay it off. Get to 0 debt.

Yeah, what can I say? Times are strange, and fatalism leads one to take risks.

[zpk]

I hear ya...more and more, I think our industry needs to unionize.

[trimbo]

It's not even true in SV.

[zpk]

This job aside, ageism is 100% prevalent in our industry.

Visa program has been hijacked and have subverted the career engineer.
