The paper ceiling is real, and I'm starting to feel it as well. Past a certain point, it really doesn't matter how "good" you are at what you do, all that matters is pedigree. Constantly having to prove yourself at all times is exhausting. And you can forget about ever even being considered by any "hard tech" companies. It's a shame. Making it in this industry as a self taught dev used to be a source of pride. Now it's become a scarlet letter.
