> average age of 23??? What's with this concept that people in their 40s, 50s or 60s can't be as/more driven than youngsters?
Most of the time I have seen the "we only hire young, hungry people" statement, it translated to: we hire (on paper) qualified people who are still cheap and don't have enough experience to say no to the silliest requests we have. After hiring we just give them enoug work to have their first burn out with 30 and then we hire new people.
Most of the time someone in his 40s to 60s has more experience which means better connections to potential alternative employers and costs more money.
Please see this as a general statement, I don't know if this is the case with this company.
