Do you work in the tech industry and worry that you're considered old, even though you may not even be 40 yet? Do you feel like younger colleagues are getting all the opportunities and promotions while you are worrying about “aging out” of tech before you can even retire? If so, you're not alone.

Welcome to It Gets Late Early, a podcast about the experience of aging as an employee in the tech world. I'm your host, Maureen Wiley Clough, and I know what it's like to feel "old" for tech.

Unfortunately, it seems like the tech industry has a youth-obsessed culture that can make it challenging for older employees to thrive. In this first episode, I talk about my experience as an older person in an industry that seems to prefer young talent. But is there really a cause for concern?

Tune in to find out.

“Older does not mean worse. It's really critically important that we start thinking of people with experience in the workplace in tech as a good thing.”

- Maureen Wiley Clough

In This Episode:

-How getting older is the one thing we all have in common, which is why we have to do something about age bias

-My personal story working in the tech industry (how a young Gen Z guy nicknamed me “Dino”) and my goal for creating this platform

-Some HUGE companies have gone on the record to share their preference for youth
