It’s been a year ago today I got laid off. I have had a handful in interviews in the past year. The year before I had 5 interviews a week.

I’m in Silicon Valley and a software engineer.



That's kind of crazy to me.. what kinda of skillset/experience do you have? I'm still getting regular recruiter spam here in The Netherlands.

Even though June/July/August are dead months.


mostly javascript, react, vue svelte, node.js etc the past 10 years. I started in 1995...so I'm chalking it up to ageism.

I’m reading this that you have 4 jobs right now. I’d skip over you pretty quickly.


Good point. THey are all part-time co-founder roles. but i'll change it.


I had a feeling that might have been the case; my profile is more backend/data but I've kept a decent skill level in frontend. The pure web frontend jobs seem to have dried up. Especially as an older developer (I'm in my mid-40s) as frontend is often entry-level, there are an army of kids who can hardly code but are cheap and make things look "good".
