When I was laid off as a senior fullstack developer I received a few calls and interviews. There was one time when I received two competing offers with prestigious companies but both required relocation. My learning about JavaScript employment is that, for the most part, it’s permanently a beginner’s area of software. If you have done that kind of work forever you have some hard choices to make: pretend to be an expert at really beginner things or wait a really long time for extremely rare opportunities to open. So I don’t do that work anymore. My 6 months of unemployment was largely self inflicted. My other learning about software employment is that when you enter management your technical skills in a given language matter so much less. Other generalized factors become more important like strong communication skills, multitasking endurance, soft skills, a wide distribution of technical knowledge your developers won’t have.
