I'm right with you. 20 years experience, I guess I'm a senior dev. I'm worried about ageism, being an imposter, having to leet code, endless rounds, etc.

How was it out there? I haven't been getting the recruiters hitting me up on linkedin as much, I wasn't sure how hot or cool the market is.

Not nearly as much experience, but I had the same issue. I was expecting once I opened up, I’d have a flood of messages in my inbox, given how everyone is saying how hot the market is. However, I feel like I’ve seen less than previous job searches, and filtering out irrelevant, low paying, shit jobs from those the number is even more disappointing.

Are you trying to only find remote work? What area do you live in?
Yeah only remote right now. Normally I’m open to relocate, but I recently had to renew a lease that’s not breakable.

I’m in central FL and I’ve been generally disappointed in this state from a job market perspective. Most of the recruiters I’ve spoken to are recruiting for roles within the state, regardless if they’re fully remote or not.
