It ain't that easy.
I lost a six figure job at age 53 after a "corporate merger."
I was out of work for a year, and then found a job that paid half as much.
In the interim, I applied to grocery stores and every place else you can think of.
They take one look at the experience, age, former salary, etc. and simply won't even bother talking.
By the way, age discrimination is alive and well if my experience is any judge.
