I've found the solution (for me at least), while I love spending time on new tech, is focusing on being a "solution provider" rather than focusing on specific technology. The moment you stop including the name of specific tech on your resume and start describing how you helped solve X problem that saved/made the company Y amount of money instead, you open the door to positions that may be as hands on (or not, depending on what you want), but that pay better and where the interviews are not focused on tech trivia at all.
