I'm in silicon valley with 27+ years of experience. I haven't been able to find a job in 2 years now. I used to get 4-5 recruiters (legit ones) reaching out to me a week. I'd have 2-3 interviews a week in 2023. Now I haven't had a legit recruiter contact me in 2 years. I think I had one interview in 2024.

thought about adapting req. of new jobs?
You mean submitting a custom resume for each job? Hell no.
why not? It would def help with a job search? It's not minimal effort, but AI can do a pretty good job with it as long as you feed your resume and the job description. It does make applying for each job more time consuming, but not a whole lot more.
I never really applied to jobs before, its always been recruiters reaching out to me on LI. Anyway I used an ai tool to rewrite my resume for each job listing and I still didn't get any calls, so I don't really think that's the issue.
try updating your tech stack, be relevant for job market
I am always updating my tech stack. that is not the issue.
