The added context makes this all seem rather grim then. You would expect someone like him to be fighting offers off with a stick.

  His case is interesting, and I imagine he shared more context in his interview, which the editor or reporter likely cut due to the article's word limit. The article briefly describes his objective as a want to land "a management role in technology," but it's likely that he's not looking for a junior project management role with his credentials. Perhaps he's holding out for a senior or at least mid-level role as an executive or co-founder at a company in a specific part of the technology industry. But then again, as the article describes, he sent out hundreds of applications—while this is plausible for these types of roles, I always imagined these openings to be primarily shared via word-of-mouth. So out of personal curiosity, I wish the article included more details about his process in attempting a career change, and what kinds of jobs he is applying to.
