Title: I&#x27;m an average developer. Been doing it 15 years. All the vacancies in my field now seem to have 300+ applicants.<p>~60% of the jobs are with outsourcing companies like toptal, gigster and so on.<p>My labour is a commodity but even lower paying jobs expects you to be a superstar leetcoder, with the wherewithal to go through 6-8 interviews and IQ test.<p>I don&#x27;t see progress in my career, i hate technology, i hate what this industry has become - it&#x27;s not something I want to do anymore.<p>Nearing my 40s, so my profile is less appealing to employers, this field is very oriented to young people.<p>Anyone managed to move from front-end to another role, while leveraging your existing work history?<p>Appreciate any guidance, thanks.
