I do know that every time I mentioned the salary I wanted, each company wanted to pay much less. I was asking 20 to 30k below what I had been making in my previous job. I think that you are right about that, Sylvain.

>The age may just be a cover for the real problem. It may be that the employer tought that a man of your age (and your experience) ask for a higher salary than he whish to pay for. From my experience, the employers who generaly hire young worker do so because they`re cheaper and they don't see the value of more experienced professionnal.

>>It helps me to have your perspective, because of your age. A man in an interview in Arizona asked me my age. He hired a younger FoxPro developer, much younger and I believe from eastern Europe.
