Here is one idea: Have a look at some of the problems that are surfacing in the tech community or new products that are being launched. Examples: Twitter, all the stable diffusion front-ends, etc., Find a stack that lies at the intersection of demand and your preference. (Flutter, React/React Native, Remix or SwiftUI / Kotlin) and get your solution done. Showcase that on Github, Hacker News, your resume. 1. This will bring you up to date and renew your self-confidence as you have something tangible to say that your knowledge has been filled. 2. Instead of doing a myriad of take-home assessments, you can lead with this project and its open source code. If the company's stack is similar, it would be silly for them to assess you again and if they do, you are already prepared for it. ---- It is rare to find a team without a cowboy coder. In most teams they are assets as long as they are not asshats as well. Good luck.
