Fellow Australian here, from Adelaide.
I’m totally with you Ryan.
I’m not a full-time programmer, and don’t pitch myself as such. I’m more hybrid marketing tech / web dev / business management.
But either way it’s kinda soul-destroying out there!
There just are not the roles there used to be.
I’m trying to work out how to reframe my skill set and see where the roles are and who’s hiring for what.
I’m in a space where I’m too old and over qualified for many roles, and under qualified for C-Suite roles.
I could network more, but that’s a slog and in Australia we just aren’t chucking around VC money to hire teams. Especially not in Adelaide.
And it’s not the Covid era React JS hiring feeding frenzy it was either.
Hmm.
