There is a shortage in qualified senior developers. Right now in Bay Area / Silicon Valley there is an abundant of junior / bootcamp grads trying to find work as a developer. I'm personally helping a new college grad and a bootcamp grad and they both are having problems getting their foot in the door in the industry. The common theme from these two though is their lack of technical ability right now. If you enjoy this field and can demonstrate competency and recall of programming fundamentals (Data Structures and Algorithms), you will find a job.
