There's a huge push to get everyone back into the office 5 days a week. Be prepared to be told NO remote work.

I have a similar experience to the previous comment, applied to about 50 jobs and got 2 interviews. Removed all dates from my resume and now I'm getting interviews left and right because they can't tell how "senior" I am.

Did you also remove some roles so that it looks like you're younger? I've heard that is the only way to get interviews these days as senior cvs are getting thrown out (too old, too expensive)
I thought they weren't hiring entry level devs anymore because the higher ups think that AI can do those jobs?
They hire people in their 20s to do senior roles on the cheap, they throw away people that are 30s or older (if you’re 40 you might as well be dead) as they are seen as expensive
This would raise a lot of eyebrows in the UK. Hiring managers might wonder what you’re hiding.
Let them wonder. They're wondering on paid time, the potential candidates aren't
They just wouldn't put you forward most of the time. Having gaps larger than 6 months here (especially if it's in the last decade) is a big red flag. I don't know why, but this has been my experience and others I've spoken to.
