I have the exact same issue. I can get offers pretty easy, but only at a very narrow sort of company that will limit my career/salary growth in the long run.

In my last round of job searches, I was being extra picky only applying to jobs where I thought the role would be interesting, but was screened out from nearly all of them, presumably because the domains/tech involved were just so wildly different from what I’ve done in the past. These weren’t even necessary “prestigious” roles but most of them were with companies most people on this site will have heard of.

I have my theories about why this is, but I don’t feel like copy/pasting my ideas at the moment.
