I’m an average developer. Been doing it 15 years. All the vacancies in my field now seem to have 300+ applicants. ~60% of the jobs are with outsourcing companies like toptal, gigster and so on. My labour is a commodity but even lower paying jobs expects you to be a superstar leetcoder, with the wherewithal to go through 6-8 interviews and IQ test. I don’t see progress in my career, i hate technology, i hate what this industry has become – it’s not something I want to do anymore. Nearing my 40s, so my profile is less appealing to employers, this field is very oriented to young people. Anyone managed to move from front-end to another role, while leveraging your existing work history? Appreciate any guidance, thanks.
