Hey there... frontend dev here. I'm sorry you're going through rough times. To be fair, I don't think it's you :( The industry is in a huge downturn right now, with hundreds of thousands laid off over this year and last. You're competing not just with everybody who normally would want a remote job, but also with thousands of high-powered ex-FAANGers with decades of industry-leading experience, in a race to the bottom, as people just try to keep a roof over their heads. That means the pipeline for juniors* trying to break in right now is pretty fucked, and might stay that way for a while :( AI is also having an impact, both in terms of being able to do a lot of our work, and shifting investment towards that instead of web dev. *I know you're not really a junior, but you might not have as much dedicated frontend experience. It really sucks, but none of that is within your personal control. All you can do is keep trying and wait it out, seizing opportunities wherever you can. Many of us will probably be underemployed for a while, if not altogether unemployed soon... it's a hard time to be in the industry. For myself, I was unemployed for half of last year, sending out resume after resume and not hearing back. That's with 10+ years of frontend experience. But I'm also pretty mediocre, lol, so more skilled people could have better luck. If you want a second pair of eyes on your portfolio, I'd be happy to take a look? I'm not any sort of manager/hiring person, but can at least offer feedback as a peer grunt if that's helpful.
