Hello,
I am a Sr. Native Android developer working in Kotlin and Java. That's my bread and butter for the last 10 plus years I have been coding, I have been doing a good job at it.
Worked in various capacities as Jr. Sr. Lead developer also as a mentor all the while which is my favourite part. To make people believe in themself is very rewarding.
I have been working honestly for the last 10 years, coding since 2010 and I really loved it. Last years my company had a layoff(more like shitty politics and old people were fired). I have been trying to find a remote job from that point, but I don't know what's the problem. I cannot really get one.
I wanted a remote job, I have my family here in Goa. My old age parents need my help and I want to be around to live with them. Also I believe that remote job is good way to balance and earn good money.
Is it just me ? Or is this happening to you too ? I have applied at so many places I am not getting any calls. Some interviews I have answered people don't reply and tell if you are selected or not. Some places I have failed for silly reasons (like not knowing compose, post which I learnt it.)
I feel like I am stuck, and I don't know where and how. Is it normal at the age of 32 to not get interview? Is it because I am doing Native Android ? Is it because I am asking for remote job ? Is it because I am having a 1 year break? (Doing a freelance project and failed startup)
What am I doing wrong ? What is your experience ?
I don't mind switching tech, but does it even help ? As of now I have working in typescript and next, worked in backend on freelance projects but I seem to not even get an interview for fresher roles. I think after a level coding becomes more of understanding and more fundamental rather then being specific. Hence whatever I have learnt can be applied at other techs and successfully be used.
If you guys have any leads or a kind word to share then let me know. Or any questions too you can ask. Sorry for ranting out but I am not sure what's happening.
Don't stress yourself, keep on improving every day, it's not you, market is bad, not many job openings are coming in open market,some openings are there but they are now getting closed with internal referrals
Thanks for taking the time and advising me.
The number of advertisement vacancy are so many however you hardly get a call fuelling the stress and chaos.
Internal refferal are such a PITA man. The HR are even more difficult to work with now a days.
