I see similar posts here every now and then recently, and I myself had a similar experience a year ago when looking for a job after shutting down a startup. I have a similar background and number of years as you do. Compared to 10 years ago, I think we're at a place where there are a lot more qualified full stack developers who meet baseline standards, which allow companies to be a lot pickier (I find it a lot harder now to land a job offer compared to 10 years ago, personally). Which means you may have to "play the interview game" -- study and practice up on algorithms. It does kinda suck, but this might just be the state of things now. Curious, do you happen to have relocated to SF Bay Area? I'm wondering if the symptoms are SF-specific because there are so many candidates in this area.

Some of the companies were based in SF, but I was interviewing remotely.
