Has ageism affected the progress of your career?
I’ve been working as an accountant for 22 years. One visible difference is that I used to get so many more job offers when I was younger. I worked for four different companies as an accountant. Now, I feel like I have to work in my current company forever because few companies are willing to hire anyone above 50. As a matter of fact, I don’t know any. I think my career was mainly affected by ageism because it involves numbers and concentration. And as you get older, people automatically assume that you are not good at doing numbers with accuracy anymore.
