Part II of this is story is that today I was fired by my manager at my job as a contractor after three months, but at the same time hired by my new manager at the same company. I have another 8 weeks of work to prove myself to be hired as a full-time employee.

As you know Bri, I have had success in my career. But, my field is really young and all the over-50-yo software engineers that I know are not confident in their job situations.

My new manager has been a loyal supporter of mine for a long time and he is about my age. So this will probably turn into a FT job in two months. But, it seems to me like it gets harder and harder as you get older.

And even with getting hired again right away, the rejection is just brutal.
