> I don't think your lack of success is because of the remote aspect

Otoh I’m pretty confident I would have a job by now if I were open to non remote work.

Of course, I don’t do react work, but equally droll .NET work. I’ve had some interviews, usually with a few companies at a time with large dry spell in between, but a vast majority have been from recruiters reaching out with on-site or hybrid roles which would require a tedious and expensive move I don’t need right now. When I scroll through something like LinkedIn’s job board adding the remote filter significantly cuts out results, leaving a lot of low effort spam listings (i.e. recruiting firm posting the same remote job for every goddamn city the hiring manager could think of). I’ve had one interview for a remote role this go around and it was earlier this week, but I doubt it will go anywhere. I’ve been out of work a little bit longer than OP with A roughly similar YoE.

The other thing I’ve noticed is a lot more “specialist” roles than I’ve ever seen before and a lot less “generalist” ones.
