So much of your career chances are determined by whether you are working with a successful and supportive team.
I.e. Whether you are working with a line manager or mentor who hands down opportunities. Coauthorships on papers. Coapplicants on grant.
If you're not being given these, you MUST move.

We need to address both under-recommendation and non-receipt/refusal. Use structured geriatric assessment & decision aids—don’t let chronological age alone guide treatment.
