How can an older worker going back to CS after a break find a position? 2 points by exaltation 9 minutes ago | hide | past | favorite | discuss I recently spoke to a woman in her 40s or 50s who would like to go back to work after two decades of not being in the workforce. She worked for the US army as a programmer before she had kids, but took a long time off to raise them. Just talking to her I could tell she was quick, conscientious, and would learn fast, but she doesn't know current frameworks in depth. (For reference, she learned COBOL in college.) She's also looking for flexible or part-time hours, so that she can be home for her kids. I think there are a lot of companies that would like to hire people like this - not FAANG perhaps, but smaller companies who would want someone smart and with life experience. But we weren't sure how to reach such companies. Does anyone have experience finding jobs that would fit this profile? Where would you look? (If you would like to hire such a worker in the NY area or remotely, PM me!)
