I feel like I'm still facing retaliation for quitting a company 3 years ago. I'm more experienced and more efficient than I've ever been as a software engineer but I can't keep a job and nobody answers my job applications anymore even after changing countries (I have multiple citizenships). I apply for hundreds and get literally 0 calls back. Even my sister who works in HR can't believe it so we started applying together. I constantly hear stories of junior devs straight out of no-name universities getting jobs easily with huge salaries. I don't know what the heck is going on. Is there some algorithm systematically filtering me out based on my name or seniority?
