If it's brutal for a person with 15+ years of experience, I don't even want to imagine what it's like joining the job market with 0 years of experience now.

0 years of experience is definitely tough, but for mid level devs (3-6 yrs) it may actually be easier than super seniors, because yes, overqualification... Me personally I just started a job at a Canadian company after low key looking and applying to various companies for the past couple of months. And I definitely got a lot of ghosting/generic rejections but definitely less than 95%.

I'm a good 3-5yr, mid-level dev, without FAANG company experience.

This might be one of those times to remove some experiences from your history, push forward your graduation date, and settle for a “normal” senior position (assuming all else fails)

What if they ask proof of your diploma? Providing forged documents (i.e. lie about graduation date) is a serious crime.

I’ve been asked for proof of my graduation exactly one time, and that was when I took a job at bank.
