"A manager who has led a project team with ambitious objectives" and "a programmer who can compute the data in front of him/her in any way they wants."

Which has more market value and which has a larger market size?

I have been thinking about this for a long time.

Makiko Uchidate's novel, "The Finished Man," is one of the greatest "horror novels" of my generation.

"Academic background from Japan's highest academic institution and a high career at a prestigious company become the biggest obstacles to re-entering the workforce after retirement"

The story appears in the book.

Even the protagonist of this novel says, 'I'll do any job,' but the president of the small business firm hesitates to hire him at every turn.

I understand their feeling very well.

Even they would not like to be told how to run their companies.

However, I believe that seniors who want to be rehired will do what they are told, with no intention of meddling in the management of the company.

However, the people on the field make the conjecture.

Is this "reverse discrimination" or "elite discrimination"?

If I were the president of a small business, what kind of senior would I want?

- humble, energetic, and even a little bouncy in some ways, like a rookie.

- Change direction quickly if someone pay attention to them, and if achieve something that leads to money without being too obvious, don't blow it out of the water, just go about it nonchalantly, and don't even try to get you to pay attention.

- Study it quietly, and if don't understand, honestly bow down to the young man and ask him to help.

- Robust, both mental and physical.

I would want such "seniors".

In the future, both newcomers and seniors will be measured by their "readiness to work," and we seniors are expected to be role models, like

Newcomers who are required to be broadminded enough to associate with people of all sorts for the sake of working out a compromise.

I think.

Which has more market value and which has a larger market size?

I do not know about market value.

However, I think the largest market is for "seniors who can quickly complete tasks that are assigned to them.
