There are tradeoffs between young and old. Some things get better, some get worse. Age discrimination does exist, as do other types of discrimination. That is the reality of which I spoke. And if I were a headhunter whose employer clients had shown in the past a disinclination to hire anyone over age X or of any other attribute Y (including being under the age Z), whether legally defensible or not, I would stop referring people over age X or of attribute Y to them rather than report them to the discrimination police.
