I did something similar in pay terms a while back and I agree with a lot of what is said. Here is my "how to"
I am assuming you have a job, but this should work if not.
Put aside every lunch hour and scan the want ads and job sites for positions that match your skill sets. Don't go for things clearly you don't match - but stretch a little too.
Apply for them all. Make sure it is easy to send from your phone. Reduce the friction.
Call the agent / hiring manager. Make sure they know you exist and what your special skills / unique selling point is.
Keep pushing.
Once you get a new job, repeat till you are at 100k
its very simple - but you need to do it.
Extra hints:
recognise you (as an HNer) have some valuable skills and need to fight the imposter syndrome. Start to collate the knowledge you have, in scripts, example apps etc.
