I was in the same situation. You are fearful. Embrace the fear. I’ve been through many leetcode kind of interviews and when I don’t know something I say so.

I was in the same situation. You are fearful. Embrace the fear. I’ve been through many leetcode kind of interviews and when I don’t know something I say so. I suggest you do the same. After your first few interviews you will be better at interviewing. You will not be a fit in all places you interview and that’s ok. It’s about putting yourself out there and that’s the scary part. The good news is you see the handwriting on the wall. Take this as a two prong approach: 1. Reach out to contract agencies who will help get you interviews. 2. use linked in to contact other employers. Update your resume and by the way. I took a 7 page resume down to 3 with over 20 years of work under my belt so get that in order. As you know once you start something it will finish as long as you put the energy forth. You are in your prime and an asset to any company. You have something called maturity and thousands of hours of programming under your belt. Others don’t. Some will appreciate that some won’t. Sometimes you just gotta smile and wave boys just smile and wave.
