Curious on feedback from others, either looking for an IT manager to CIO level position, or perhaps those in a position to hire at that level. I don’t quite understand all the factors, but suddenly age seems to be a (negative) factor. What I don’t understand is, if you have a recent track record of delivering and keeping up with the times, what does age mean? The average tenure of a CIO is less than 3 years, I understand, so if you are a highly capable 59 year old, the age factor would seem insignificant.
Would like observations from others; that I am wrong, how to work around it, etc. etc.
