I built a bespoke IOT stack that currently runs over 10k devices and a full production line interface / deployment for a factory we used in china. I'm not going to define what "senior engineer" is, but this was done largely solo with engineers I managed to maintain it.

Sounds impressive enough to probably get a senior role somewhere. Maybe you aren't selling yourself well in your resume?

Based on your responses, I think your soft skills / people skills are letting you down. I would recommend working diligently on how you interact and communicate so that you do not come across as arrogant, dismissive, or out of touch.

Too down to earth, OP wants to vent his frustrations.
