I’m struggling as well. I started fresh out of high school’s comp sci class. Circa 1998. I’ve survived the dot com bubble, the housing implosion, the Great Recession, but lately have found myself struggling to find employment and when I do - I’m treated very poorly because I’m new. Yet I have more experience than they do. I don’t want to play that card but it’s like watching the blind lead the blind. I can’t retire. Yet I can’t find a decent dev job where we work on a product or SaaS. A few companies that did reach out to me, gave me a pass after speaking with me so I guess the problem is with me. But I don’t know what. Also, seeing past coworkers strike it rich and retire early really deflates my spirits after trying to succeed for so long.
