Bear in mind, that there are also some people who are 30 who are not getting jobs. You list all your accomplishments (35 years, 3 degrees, etc)... what do you say on your resume or your cover letter that indicates you are also hungry to learn? to explore? to be humble? to be part of a team? And I wonder at 35 years, why are you not leading a team and mentoring others? Why are you still on the lower tiers? Lastly, there are many job situations, which let's just say, the employer / managers are not even ambitious. They just want somebody in the chair. They have a budget to maintain, or they are in transition. or they have billable hours to meet. They just need a warm body. Forgive me, but at a minimum, I find it hard to accept that someone who is really job hunting hasn't at least found one of these. Also, what are you requesting for salary? Do you do the coding challenges? Do you call them back promptly? When you are on a phone interview do you talk over them, or listen and answer succinctly? There are many, many factors beyond the mere resume to consider as well.
