I’ve had the samt problem. I clearly state on indeed/linkedin/ziprecruiter that I’m looking for management positions and all my experience is as a project manager, manager or business relationship manager but my masters is in computer science and that’s often what recruiters sells me as… super frustrating. As I’m relative young (30) they seem to think I can just jump in as a developer even though I haven’t coded since grad school. Honestly LinkedIn and networking are my best suggestions.

We're the same age (31 here). My decision to start my first business at 14 has been both a blessing and a curse - I have over a decade of experience in some foundational languages/technologies, such as Java, SQL, C(++), etc. But it seems my explicit interest in management roles is looked over, as the desire to get that recruiting bonus for a senior dev referral outweighs what is in my (and the company's) best interest.
