What considerations from Skylla Engineering are there for older veterans? I’ve been working for a living since the 70s including my 13 years in the Navy. I’ve been in IT since 1992. I found myself unemployed this year and now facing unprovable age discrimination and now going on 8 months unemployed.
Just curious since I’ve seen a lot of “vet friendly” companies that won’t talk to an old person.
