> Age discrimination is real... I'm 35

That's not really the typical age where age discrimination sets in. In fact 35 is very much a sweet spot where people would respect your experience but you still look young enough to be hanging out with people in their mid 20s.

If you really think it's an issue don't state your graduation year on your resume.

> my libertarian views on social media and cryptocurrency background have hindered me

Most big tech recruiters don't go around searching your social media, it's a liability and they don't have the time for that. Startup founders might, that's another story.

If you're really worried about it, just delete it, temporarily hide it, or make that stuff private so only your friends can see it.

Stop whining and find solutions.



Agreed that finding solutions is a good step forward.

There’s even a (paid) tool that can bulk delete tweets for you.

I have a job now. You bet I'm not going to bring my real self to work. Never again.
