I am having the same trouble, but in my case potential employers seem to want something very specific. I have years of experience with Scala and the JVM, but not Kotlin? Years of experience with Postgres, MongoDB, and Bigtable, but not DynamoDB? That’s a pass. Or at least those are the stated reasons they say to my face. Maybe I just didn’t do brilliantly enough in the phone screen/interviews.
Across the ocean, I’m hearing from friends in the US that entry level positions are impossible to find too. Not a single graduate of a coding boot camp cohort has been able to land a job since February.
