If you have 10 years tech lead experience I assume you are applying for 200k+ base salary positions. The competition for these staff/lead roles is steeper, especially for remote roles during a recession.

Take a couple interviews for less senior positions and knock them outta the park, get your confidence back. Probably won't require too much prep and will be low stress if the job is in your stack.

Getting an offer feels nice - it's validating, especially in a dry spell.

I agree. It’s important to not be too picky in this economic environment. Sometimes you need to take one step back to go two steps forward.

That gave me a chuckle.
