Really looking to do more Node and less .NET - i.e. same as many others, please-more-cool-languages-and-less-enterprise-.net! Primarily done backend using .NET/WCF, and front end with Angular. Open to new tech and love a new challenge (currently learning ClojureScript). Really keen to work with smart people.

Good question. I'm 35 now, but I honestly don't know what the local ageism factor is. This was also my first job in Germany (previously UK), so I've not got much to compare it too. It's a factor I previously hadn't considered, so thanks for bringing it up.

I guess a startup would be more likely to be ageist, and hence that move should be sooner rather than later.

True, but there are cases when having the same language both sides can save some time, like validation routines for example. Not always appropriate, but can be a leg up on a project.
