Have you thought about removing the date you graduated from your degree and removing a few of your early jobs from your resume? You have 20+ years of experience... can you make it look like you have 10? Just to get an interview?

It is absolutely awful that you should have to do this. Starting a new career in web dev at 35 it is something that's on my mind quite often.

From my experience (technical interview specifically) fortunately we've never cared about that, and more about how the person approaches problem solving and how relevant their knowledge is related to the stack we're using. If this person is bringing valuable skills and it's not a jerk, I don't see why we should even care about their age. I think it really depends on what companies you're applying for, but the way I see it now, remote work is very beneficial because when working at an office people care more about who their gonna be hanging out with, and you know how that goes.
