A lot of startups want just young people as they don't have families, don't know any better, and will burn out after a few years. Do you really want to work there?

Same with an inherently young demographic at a company. My last place I was one of the older ones in a very young crowd who liked to hit the bars after work. Not my scene any more. I prefer to be the younger person in an older work environment.
