It also seems like the market has strongly skewed to the senior side of things (8+ yrs exp).

Yeah it's like having a junior you can hand small bits of code off too.

Yep, I'm currently on the market and I'm seeing a lot of requests for people with impossibly high years of experience if you're a junior.

From my perspective few of the projects asking for this level of experience require it. I have no idea why people aren't recruiting curious randos off the street at $60k a pop, but I'd imagine that onboarding looks complicated if you can't tell the difference between infrastructure jank and your actual job.
