This is the problem mostly from what I can tell. As a senior dev, if you applied for jobs at the same pay as a junior you’d probably be hired in an instant.

If I got laid off today, I'd use this to my advantage. Just apply for and work for two lower-paying jobs at the same time, cumulating in a high total comp.

Actually it might raise red flags. Overqualified for a junior role, won't stay in the position at that level.
