i am in this software making cauldron for 35years already. Seen/been lots of things. Still.. For the last 3 months, i have applied to ~150+ euro-places, and 20 non-euro. At various levels between senior-engineer and cto. 15-20% replied with no. Only 1% - yes, two leads - were interested but had very-very low budget for what they wanted - and started with that. The rest did not bother to reply (yet? some manage to reply in 2-3 days, other in 2 weeks -or- months, but most - never). i don't know if it's the AI-hype-blinding, or ageism, or pump-our-numbers, or we-want-super-hero-for-free, or afraid-to-commit-to-any-$$$decisions, or what. But definitely i cannot find a job.
