Is Age really a factor?

For me age is genuinely just a number. And work is worship. Yet, having people who are often my age or sometimes 10-20 years older than me reporting to me - becomes a discussion. Why is “age” even a discussion if one has proved their merit and mettle? In a country with a growing young population, we have some randomly contrasting values. Of course, basic respect for all is just a fundamental in the team’s culture. Do you think an employee should “respect” another employee just by the virtue of age?

I have years of experience, but feel invisible in interviews. How to successfully rebrand oneself later in their career?

All professionals go thru this dilemma when they are nearing 50 . They are actually wiser and more experienced but it has become a taboo that if you are touching 50 and aren’t already a business leader then you have lost the plot . Your current organisation does not value you and feels age is a barrier to growth . And external companies who are hiring want younger leaders . So experienced people who have seen various ups and downs , weathered so many storms and have the deep rooted knowledge and experience … what do they do ahead ? Everybody does not have money to open their own startup . People say do a course , enhance your skill sets . After that what ? Can somebody share sites or forums or groups where such high experience guys can try for jobs . Because for many many of them “ picture abhi baaki hai dost “
