Creating a throwaway account for simplicity. I was/am a hiring manager, mostly for startups.
Market is rough right now for sure but I also want to share some flags I’d personally note when looking at your website / LinkedIn.
1. You have experience in a lot of technologies, which sometimes is good, but can also be the case where you don’t have expertise in any of them.
2. According to LinkedIn since 2016 most of your gigs were about a year long. You also had a lead engineer gig that lasted eight months. I’m sure you put more info about it in your resume but it’s a pretty big flag considering that it spans not only the downturn but boom periods as well.
3. No well known companies in your list. I know it sucks that pedigree matters so much in our industry but it does.
4. Political posts / complaining on LinkedIn. Having dealt with political stuff at work (from both sides of the isle) it’s such a pain in the ass that my risk management alert kicks in.
5. I see you’re in Denver. Are you applying only for remote gigs? Sadly, a lot of companies are doing RTO and probably not in your area.
Hope this helps a bit. Hope things improve for you soon.
