I'm 48. I'd love to retire in < 25 years, but that isn't looking financially realistic. There are legions of "older" workers like me.

Given that the average stint for employees at SF/SV companies these days seems to be about two years, I don't understand why these companies think older job candidates pose flight risks. It's certainly not that they're obliged to pay pensions.

48 is so far from 60 though in the context of this question that I'm not sure it's helpful. It's an interesting point.

Then put 58 as the age. If the average stay for an employee in SV is 2 years it means that you still get a worker with amazing experience for the average workers stay. You come out on top.

Even more, let's assume that this person doesn't retire at 60. In that case, the chances of being hired at a different company are even less, you you get a person with brilliant experience who will stay in the company 2-3 times that of the average worker.
