Ask HN: Dev with 19y experience. I am having hard time to find a job
I have recently been laid off. I have been single handed developed the entire AI / LLM / DS of the last company. I have been working for more than 19 years now. This is the first time I am feeling afraid. Looking at the little chances I am getting. I have always managed to get jobs. I started companies, raised funds. Did a lot of different things. I am completely technical and I am a very strong IC.
Is it because the Job Market is bad? Or is it because I am looking for remote work? I fail to understand the the present trend of "on-site" jobs. I am guessing employers had bad experience in COVID time and wants to get back to the normal setting again.
I am not sure what it is, but I am struggling to get past the first call. First time in my life. Worried about my family. kids... So was wondering if the general situation is really that bad.
