Just let me know when the economy is hiring Sr. devs and team leads. I’m happy for the economy, and I’m happy for everyone benefitting from it. But shit is looking dark for some.
Give it a few years, the system created too many and now we’re seeing a correction to the proper number of positions. As the unemployed retrain to needed skill sets the job market will return to a healthy level.
It’s going to be hard for individuals. Look at the skilled trades, the world needs more electricians and plumbers and they make very good money. HVAC techs are in high demand basically everywhere.
I remember when I was young and autoworkers and coal miners were losing jobs. And yeah, I thought they could just retrain. It was fucking naive, and if they’d heard me they would’ve been rightfully offended.
I’m done here. I feel like saying anything more would just be self-pity. I’m damn good at what I do, just maybe not so great at interviews. Too fucking honest. Sooner or later I’ll find the right person to interview with. Thanks for the chat.
Have you looked into the European job market? From what little I know, I have the impression here that kind of profile can pick among any number of jobs.
I have not. I’m working on a side project with a partner in Portugal and he said they don’t pay nearly what I’m used to, so I’ve never looked further. I guess I’ll take a look and see this weekend.
Do as the other poster said. The Benelux is also a place where you could probably work with just English. Bonus points if you manage to get a job where you’re allowed to work from, say Portugal (for the weather and the low living costs)
Good luck on the job hunt!
Thank you. I have to stay where I am physically and work remote. Got a wife and kids with their own house and families. Not really an option to leave that all behind.
However I’ve been known to take extended vacations and work from an AirBNB.

I mean… I’ll check with my banks to see if they’re cool with waiting, but I’m thinking no. Four months and I’ve gotten… 2 or 3 second interviews.

Portugal is kinda the Eastern Europe of Western Europe to the point it’s a meme.
Try the Benelux, or Switzerland for jobs that pay around what you’re used to.
