Look for lower-paid contracting, £200 ish or lower. Look for things in the provinces away from big cities. Also try people per hour. Try bite consulting, give them a call and see how they can help .Comment

At the risk of being helpful..... If you were doing *IX 15 years ago, you presumably have lots of Solaris. Now that's just gone EOL, there are loads of Solaris -> Linux gigs.

Dont listen
This is probably the most negative thread that I ever seen. No, ageism is not a problem. Getting to comfy in a skillset is a problem. C++~17 years ago might be a problem but if you were in IT, it might take you 6-12 months to skill up in something relevant and related like golang and nowadays-C++. The majority of my workflow comes from linkedin and I've never meet them in person.Comment
