Ageism in the Workplace
This is a really good LinkedIn post. In addition to the statistics mentioned, I have seen a large number of people looking to return to the job market after being out of the market for a long time – some more that 10 years, some with a great deal of management experience looking to reduce stress and workload by targeting lower lever positions, and some looking to transition to new industries or functional areas.

Being irreplaceable is the key to career growth
Good concept for people on the job market to remember. Decision-makers aren’t basing job offers on who they think works the hardest. They make offers based on the value you can bring to the company and the problems you can solve. Those are the points to remember when preparing for an interview. I love the comment Pawel Pawlak made on this LinkedIn post, which sums it up – “A donkey carries heavy loads all day. The racehorse runs for 2 minutes. The crowd pays to see the horse.

Interview Cheat Sheet
The “higher salary later” is actually a good negotiation tool. Negotiating for an early salary review can substantially increase your compensation within three to six months. However, the creator of this post is correct - if it’s not in writing it does not exist. Additionally, make sure the offer letter states early SALARY review - not simply review. Even if they provide an early salary review, that does not mean they have to increase it. It only means they must review it, s
