That sounds brutal man; do you mind if I ask what stack/language? What kind of company were you at before?
We’ve been hiring (for real) but only for more senior positions. Fintech.
Have you tried contracting? Especially if you’re asking them to consider you for junior level positions, that might be a good bridge into something more long term; keep the lights on and let you keep searching and in the meantime some company gets an amazing deal on your talent.
I don't want to give out too much personally identifiable info, so just the basics....
I have 30 years behind me. Was a Java dev in the early days, then fell into .NET, hated it for a while (few people cared about design patterns, testing,etc) lots of JS, SQL Server, Oracle DB, cloud, devops, etc..
I was at a security and automation company, was doing well, but got pissant raises. My boss was as surprised as i was at my layoff.
I am perhaps too senior. I am actually interviewing at a fintech, wouldn't that be funny!
