I am a 40 year old iOS programmer and work/life balance is important to me. I am looking for my next gig. I live in Los Angeles and thinking of moving out of the city to start something new.
Is Bay Area a good place to move at this age ?
Depends on your depth. I'm 38, and I have opportunities thrown at me every day, based on a resume with work experience going back to '99, so my age is easy to tell (I'd actually assume that I was 40 from my resume).
There's some ageism, but if you're current on technologies and are charismatic during a phone interview you can make it happen.
