I have over 30 years IT experience and in my mid-40s. I'm a US citizen living in Japan and considering a move to Denmark. I'm wondering how difficult it would be to find a job as an IT (cloud) Architect or software engineer while being an obvious transgender person. (I don't think I pass as a woman by a British mile.)

Why wouldn’t anyone want to listen to an expert with over 30 years experience? Is skill and knowledge not valued?

The post you are replying to is nonsense, skilled IT people with a programming background and hyperscaler experience is in HIGH demand, might even land you one of these "foreign specialist" working permits with reduced tax for a number of years (I don't know the rules on that exactly)

Many Danes cannot find work anymore, or even an affordable place to live. So we do not like the idea of foreigners coming in with lots of experience and getting the jobs instead of us. Many people (not me) will get even angrier if from a different race or won't follow our culture. And the LGBT too.

That's the thing. A trans Danish person is usually OK here. But a trans foreigner is a double whammy. If you are different race too, then triple whammy.

As an American, I’m already a “mixed mutt…” (American Indian + English + German…) but look Caucasian. I’ve had no problems adapting to the local culture. Have lived in Japan for the past 15 years and speak/read Japanese at business level. But the culture here is increasingly more difficult as one ages in IT…

Here you are again with the "we".

Stop pretending you speak on the behalf of anyone except yourself.

What? We’re still talking about IT, right? I don’t recognise any of what you’re saying as applying to IT.

The person you are replying to is a troll, just ignore them.

If you are over 40 you will have to have a unique skillset that perfectly matches a given job description in order to just be considered for said job.

Ageism is very much a thing (of course not openly), and danish employers definitely prefer employees younger than 40, if available.

Loads of very well educated and young(ish) Indian programmers, looking to start a career outside India are available at any given time.

Ja ok. Med sådan et fint nyt buzzword på CV'et betyder alderen jo ikke en skid.

...garharharhar... :D

I can only guess you don’t know what an “IT Architect” is…

En der laver alt muligt inden for IT, jeg tjekkede lige jobannoncer, og det er bare et buzzword for en leder der kan overskue, planlægge og fordele arbejdet på et større projekt.

Der i Danmark i øvrigt, som udgangspunkt forventes at have en kandidatgrad.

Jobannoncerne er jo ligeledes udelukkende fyldt med fluffy buzzwords.

Læs de her annoncer, og se om du kan lade være med at grine...

.........................

En ting IT-sælgerne altid har været gode til er at skabe fantasifulde og fede betegnelser til kedelige og rutineprægede opgaver.

F.eks. "Vi har brug for at chefen kan se dagens salgstal i caps og fed skrift" bliver til:

"I vores team arbejder vi dedikeret med at udvikle og vedligeholde [indsæt virksomhed]'s tværgående datainfrastruktur. Vores mission er at understøtte den grønne omstilling gennem avancerede og sikre dataløsninger. Vi er et team, hvor innovation, fleksibilitet, og arbejdsliv i balance står højt på dagsordenen. "

osv osv osv ...
