A comment on What Happens to Older Developers?. Parent comment
Friends have urged me to simply apply for random jobs even if I'm missing experience in particular frameworks.
I've been reluctant to do so. Instead, I've been looking for:
(a) Junior positions that I'm clearly qualified for
(b) Positions at firms that are seeking generalists
(c) Positions where I'd be able to use the special skills that I do possess
I'll probably need to build connections over time for this to work out. In the interim, a non-tech position might be the way to go.
