I have gone to over 100 interviews at various companies - startups, major corps, banks (no I'm not kidding...in fact, once I do get a job, I'll do a massive write-up on what it's like to interview at different companies) and almost every single company seems to want "more experience" or "too experienced" (while they claim I can't do senior positions because I don't have experience) for entry level positions,.
I can do web (JS, and backend with nodeJS) and android (java) dev (and have previous experience of working at 3 startups).
and in all honesty, I'm a quick learner and can pickup other languages/stacks in a few weeks at worst - yet I am not even given that chance to prove myself.
:(
EDIT: to add to the above - I'm also told I'm lucky if I get paid more than 60k/yr (and basically no benefits) as that's what it is starting out.
