I was hired as a UX designer at age 58, but it was at a tiny start up. Laid off from there at age 60, a woman in a tech adjacent field. Took me more than a year to find another job, at a place where I had the perfect background, a mix of education technology and web design experience. It was for a non-profit media company who was known for hiring a diverse workforce, both age and race wise. While I had the skills I still considered myself fortunate to have gotten that job, where I worked with other designers and developers 20 years or more younger than me.
