+1 that we don’t have much to go off of.

Mid-twenties with 7-8 years professional experience suggests you’re self-taught. IMO that’s a highlight, but could it be that in this tech hiring freeze economy, companies are filtering on undergraduate as a prerequisite?

I finished a 4-year CS undergrad at a university, although I do consider myself 90% self-taught.

Ah, wow, that’s quite an accomplishment while working. I guess it can’t be that then.
