AGE DISCRIMINATION IN TECH COMPANIES

One of the most uncomfortable and not-so-secret truths of the tech industry is that it is woefully lacking in diversity. Many companies and startups throughout the industry and Silicon Valley are staffed and managed predominantly by young Caucasian and Asian males.

Age discrimination is rampant in tech. The tech culture has long disdained older professionals (even those over 30 or 40 years old) and the hiring and advancement practices of these companies reflect that.

Age discrimination is also illegal. If you have been turned down for a job in a tech company, and you suspect that the rejection was because of your age, you may have an age discrimination claim. If you were working for a tech company and you were let go or passed over for an advancement opportunity because of your age, you may also have a claim.
