Grammar
We were vs they were
"We have people who joined us when we were 23 and 24 and now they lead ventures with 100 or 200 employees and now they are 26."
-from a news article
The person speaking is 30 already.
Isn't this an error and article is supposed to be written as "they were 23 and 24"?
Thanks
