I think thats your problem to focus on. Why are not getting these jobs? If you have ~10 years experience as a software engineer you shouldn't have so much problem getting a job. Even if you are not a "skilled expert in a topic". Maybe you are applying to jobs which are above your pay grade? Perhaps you need to take a small pay cut to get a job at a company where you can grow your skills and learn the career wisdom that you say you lack?

All my past jobs underpaid, so even $65K or $70K (the average for a entry level job in my city) is higher than I've made. Being simultaneously under-qualified on paper and over-qualified in practice is a thing with me. People must think I expect high salaries but I actually don't. I've always been paid roughly in the lowest 25 percentile.
