First, congratulations. Good luck wherever you choose to go. It may be counter-intuitive, but the more qualified you are, the longer you have to look for a job

First, congratulations. Good luck wherever you choose to go. It may be counter-intuitive, but the more qualified you are, the longer you have to look for a job. A fresh-faced junior developer just out of college can be hired pretty quickly, because he/she isn't a big risk: the salary is lower, the responsibility is lower, and it's assumed there will be some adult supervision from an experienced developer. A senior developer is expected to hit the ground running, and a bad fit can create a lot of team friction and technical debt in a short time. (And your own standards are higher, so not every company will do.)
