Don't give up, the market is in a downturn and its much harder to get a position now. It's not you that is the problem nor your age. I can see in my current company how much choosier we became when considering candidates. As for web dev, it's a very broad field. You can try backend if you're sick of front end. I'm a full stacker and I'm considering a move to something more low level or algorithmic...we'll see how it goes. Your satisfaction in work also depends a lot on your boss, colleagues and the amount of stress you're experiencing...the actual tools and tasks you work on matter but not that much imo.
