Disclaimer: not looking for a job as my father does not speak english, just want some opinions.

My father used to code in the 80's, assembly, machine language, banking services. He stopped coding in the early 90's and now for some years has been studying and deploying some flutter applications for fun.

He decided last year to return to the market, learned git, dart, state management even how to use figma to try some junior jobs, but he's always failing in the last interview part, where the company has to choose between him and some fresh grads (most of the time the recruiters say that the age is a problem)

See, he is not really trying to get a senior job, he is just hoping to get a job in the area again.

Do you guys have some advice for an older dev starting now or returning after decades?
