Now is a bad time. Two years ago I was hired with no experience as a career switcher onto a full-stack web (mostly backend) team. Now the same team is hiring and wants a mid-level with 3 years of experience.

Unfortunately for me, now's the best and only time, as I was laid off. I have to do what I can. Looks like it's time to overinflate the resume to stand out.

>Two years ago

Two years ago was a temporary anomaly in many markets, not just employment, that we may never see in the near future.

Right now is particularly bad though, one of the worst job markets for this field in quite a while, it will pick up at some point

Sure, but I can't stay unemployed until the market picks up, since nobody knows when that will be.
