Hi, it is not that all employers restrict candidates aged 50 years and above, but there are some employers who are specific about this.
Senior-level assignments
For senior-level assignments like GM/Vice Presidents, experienced candidates aged 50 and above are still considered.
Employer notions about older candidates
There are some employers who have notions like:
1) Beyond 50, physical fitness might not be there.
2) They will not be able to stretch and work due to work requirements.
3) They will not be able to mingle with a younger group of employees, which will have an impact on work.
4) Their salary expectations will be higher due to extensive experience.
The above are some prominent reasons as per my observation.
