Ask HN: When is it too old to be an intern?
I went back to school recently for a 2 year master's degree in information science (think: UI/UX, data science, databases, statistics), and the program strongly recommends doing an internship at a tech company during the summer in between the years. However, I'm going to be 31 this year, and I assume most of my competition for the positions are going to be in the 18-22 range. Will managers at SV-type tech companies (probably younger than me) even look at my application? My background mostly linux sysadmin-ing and bioinformatics, looking to get into more analytic/statistical work like BI.
