The job market is brutal too. Even if you have expeirence, the next guy has more. If you have five years, with two at the management level, some will have ten, with four, and then people will think that you will never be satisfied with your position, and will always be gunning for the next (the person's who is interviewing you) job. Even if you're not, that is what they will think. Too much too soon can hurt your case. And people tend to hire within their own age group. If you look too young or too old, they will be holding out for another candidate.
