About It Gets Late Early: Career Tips for Tech Employees in Midlife and Beyond
Have you ever looked around at work and realized you might be one of the oldest people in the room—and you’re not even 40 yet? It Gets Late Early is a show about what’s really happening to experienced workers as the rules of work change. We dig into layoffs dressed up as AI strategy, side hustles and portfolio careers, the quiet rise of workplace ageism, and the (sometimes harsh) reality of building a career in midlife and beyond. We connect the dots between corporate decisions, economic forces, and the real lives of people navigating a changing world of work to help make sense of it all…because the career playbook we all followed was for a game no one can win anymore. You’ll hear honest conversations, expert insights, and practical advice for people trying to figure out what comes next—all wrapped up in a healthy dose of dark humor. Because sometimes you have to laugh so you don’t cry. Hosted by Maureen Wiley Clough—corporate dropout and ex-journalist who won’t quit telling the truth about work.

Published 26 Aug 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] If it's the graduation date that just kind of like gives it away because most college graduates are probably like what average 22, 23, something like that. 100%. And then you also wonder with that additional experience that folks who are over 40 have, does the compensation change with it? Cause here's what I will say. The salary ranges I saw were messed up. I was looking at jobs requesting, and this is like breaking news. The sky is blue, but jobs that were looking at, you know, seven, eight, nine years of experience. Why was the base salary $51,000 in a city? I based it out of where I am, which is Toronto, where average cost of living is 90 K and above. […]
