It can be solved, as you say, by choosing a certain company with values that align with yours. But a lot of people don't have the privilege of choosing. After my dad died, my mom had the hardest time finding a job because of ageism. It's an absolutely dumb idea. Companies, in my opinion, often need the best of both worlds. Young people have very interesting ideas and all the energy, but we need the experience of older folks, too. Me? I'm right in the middle. Not quite wise and not quite energetic 😜
It means that you are slow enough to think before doing — which most often leads to better results. Wisdom is all about that, really. Even the youngest are wise enough if they just take their time to do things right (or check what is right before doing it).
There is usually no benefit for anyone in being fast — not in the longer run, at least.

I'm one of those fast people (always have been). But my latest injury has taught me the value of slowing down the hard way.
A tough way to learn. Hopefully life will get easier and the injury forgotten — while still remembering what you learned :)
