Question: Has anyone 40+ experienced age discrimination for promotions or in job searches? How'd you beat the obstacles? 

Answer: I imagine that it depends highly on your field. I am in R&D software and have noticed very little age bias - it is mostly results that matter.\n\nI imagine in the more physically demanding, or highly visible fields (particularly for women), there is a large degree of age discrimination.\n\nSorry that I can't help much more than that.
