Come to Portugal. We like bad coders here. Seriously. 99% chance you won't have a technical interview. I lead a team (and have lead others) that I would prefer just to fire everyone and do it myself (latest gem found today in the code: self.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent, done by previous 'senior' developer). So, if coming to Portugal not an option, interview in less tech related companies (forget SV and NY) and go for smaller ones with 1-2 developers supporting the business needs. If what you and others say about your work is right, you probably can be a good developer in those environments just not at big/hip tech ones.
