This must be a cultural thing. Where I work (north Europe) and with whom I work, there’s seldom been an age issue. True, when I was just starting my advertising career, client big-shots sometimes initially looked down their noses at me as part of the agency team, but when serious discussion got going, everyone’s voice was heard.

I think if you feel young age is against you, just participate in the discussion ignoring the prejudice even if you feel it thick around you. If what you say carries weight, you’ll eventually be heard. Hey, you wouldn’t be in that meeting/situation/whatever, if someone didn’t think you can add value.
