Front end developer here.
Been looking for a new role since February, and I have to say it's more difficult than I expected.
Compared to 2019, last time I switched jobs, I'm getting fewer interviews and fewer proposals from recruiters. I wouldn't entirely put it on the market changes though. My salary expectations went up and with that companies are more shy and want more assurance that I'll be a good fit. I'm also more picky with who I apply for.
I've been ramping up the time spent on selling myself, writing descriptions of my work and trying to build a portfolio. I hope it pays off because I'd much rather be working on pet projects and developing my product building skills than spending time on personal branding.
