Now is a bad time. Two years ago I was hired with no experience as a career switcher onto a full-stack web (mostly backend) team. Now the same team is hiring and wants a mid-level with 3 years of experience.

If I go back to firmware and wait it out until the market picks up again, I might be too old to be considered worthy of a career switch if companies can find juniors 20 years younger.
