Past/after retirement age
Do both "Most of his colleagues opted to work past/after retirement age" sound okay to you?
Thank you.

Yes. However, to me, 'past' suggests the work is ongoing through the time of retirement and beyond while 'after' may suggest starting a position post-retirement age. It's not a certainty, it just seems to indicate those subtleties to me.
