I'm curious what subset of tech you're applying for, and what your region and salary expectation are. Speaking as someone with 20+ YOE experience myself.

I'm past IC (which I did for 15 years) and onto director/head/vp of eng, though I can be hands-on. In Canada, applying for full remote gigs. I've made a point this time not to come out with a salary expectation and instead ask them to make an offer. I'm not even getting through for Engineering Manager positions which are significantly lower on the experience scale.

Right, that definitely makes it much harder.
