One thing for sure is the recruiting scene has not improved. There are plenty of companies looking for talent and there are plenty of open roles. The process has largely been 'gamified' for certain levels. I think it is important to note with 8 YoE going through the traditional recruitment process will definitely be harder than say someone in the first 4 years of their professional life. Traditionally if you're with 8 YoE and in the same field, when looking elsewhere for work you would largely be relying on your network by now. I don't mean to put you down by writing this but rather to suggest maybe trying to capitalize with your network instead of just your resume. If anything you'll still be selling yourself with the interview and further processes. Good luck
