I have 15 years of experience and have been unemployed for 18 months, it’s not just juniors who can’t find a job right now.
26 years of experience here. I'm on month 8. I'm starting to think that those 26 years are hurting more than they're helping.
Agreed, what little luck I’ve had has fallen through and I very specifically felt that it was because they were looking for somebody who was younger and less experienced than I am at least in this one instance.
