I can not disagree with you. You are absolutely right. Experience even from 5 years is a very good indicator.
Previously valued only people with ten years of experience, and even better. But now the most promising are young people, but who have already worked in this field
It turns out that people who are more than 50 years old no one is interested in the business sphere, even despite the experience. And it's good on the one hand, and on the other sad!
No matter how old the creators or consultants are. It is important what their competence. Look at the richest people, like Warren Buffet. How old do you know him? more than 60 years. So do not need to pay.
