As someone who hires for a team, I don't care if the person is 22 or 62. If they are willing and able to do the job, then I still have years of work I can get from them before they move on.

Doesn't matter if it's career progression, a new challenge, or retirement. I assume people will leave regardless at some point in the future.

If you have been discriminated against, think of it as you dodging a bullet. If somewhere is bad during interviews it's probably worse when you get there.
