In addition to lower salaries, senior executives in their 50s also averaged over eight months (240 days) of active searching before finding a new job, compared to about four months (125 days) of active searching for their counterparts in their 40s.
"As the entire workforce ages, senior executives will continually need to adapt and make themselves more relevant and attractive to current and potential employers," says Chris Miller, CEO of ExecutiveTalent.net. "As larger organizations are continually pressured to stimulate growth while streamlining expenses, we are seeing a trend to replace older executives with younger ones able to do the same job for a little less."
The poll showed that executives in their 30s not only earned slightly less than their counterparts in their 50s but they spent about one-third the time (80 days) actively looking for new opportunities. Miller´s advice to older executives in the job market is to aim at smaller businesses who place a greater value on experience and maturity.
"Joining a larger organization is going to be difficult," he notes. "You should market your experiences and the solutions you can provide to smaller companies."
