Unplanned retirement

[dhutton]

My first thought was can you join your wife in her business and perhaps help her take it to the next level?

Happened to a buddy of mine in January, kinda knew it was coming but still sucked. He's stayed in touch with friends at the company and now that things have cooled down/restructured, they are calling him about opportunities.... his problem is he got used to the early retirement and now is being kinda picky....

Do you have a case for litigation due to lack of compliance with the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/statutes/adea.cfm)?

Not sure if you have government / government support businesses that do software in your area, but it's worth taking a look and they tend to comply with the various discrimination laws a bit more rigorously.

If your a strong leader in software, there is a strong market available regardless of your age, but it really depends on where your located. Something to also check out is a telecommute gig. Being in a leadership role is more difficult, but if you still have software skills that are in demand, there are opportunities out there.

Thoughts?

Hey Joe.
I do qualify however it would be very difficult to benefit from litigation as this is a large company with deep pockets and strong legal groups. Also harder to prove then deny.
Remote leaders are very rare and I am most effective when on the ground. Unless the entire team is remote.
Thank you for the thoughts

Considering (leaning heavily towards) relocating. When it rains it pours; don’t ask ... but yeah moving is now on the table.

Looking for thoughts on locations
Calafornia ?
Austin TX
Seattle WA
New York (city)
Any other areas I should consider

Assuming of course I could find something, the market is strong so I think so. If I am going to move across the country then Iwabt to go where thier is strong car culture
