Decade-plus-something web dev experience here. I'm still an unemployable dumbass.
Been applying to both backend and frontend positions, and to me the market looks like that "fronthand backhand" Key & Peele sketch (just mentally replace with "frontend backend").
I'm only surviving so far because someone I know offered me freelance work, but it probably won't last too long, and nobody else I know is hiring for a remote (or nearby) position.
Maybe, if I lived in either of the 2 cities where 90% of the on-site developer job positions are located, maybe, things would be a bit easier.
- mock-possum 3y agoI wouldn’t take it personally if I were you, the employment situation suuuuuuuuuuucks right now, worse than it’s ever been. Five years ago you’d have had a much easier time.
- IshKebab 3y agoPresumably this is just for some locations/domains? I still get a mountain of recruiter spam...
- piloto_ciego 3y agoThis is more evidence to me that I’m fucked. Honestly, I think I need to probably just do my own thing here when I get done because if I don’t, well, relying on someone to take a chance on a 36 year old dude with a family and other obligations seems like a losing proposition….
