Not a myth, I&#x27;m a full stack developer with 20 years of hardware, admin, qa, and software experience, but haven&#x27;t found it easy to find a new job I&#x27;d like.  Not sure if the problem is that I only apply for &quot;awesome&quot; jobs, which are by definition hard to get, or I have too much experience?<p>Also I tend to speak modestly of my achievements, another character flaw.  In a recent interview, I told the guy I hadn&#x27;t used the django-rest-framework package, and didn&#x27;t think much of it, seeing as I have five years of django experience, and use rest apis every day, and occasionally create them.  You could hear a little let down in his voice, though.  I haven&#x27;t been able to bring myself to lie about silly things like that--really would it have even taken me an hour to master?<p>However, you never know why exactly you don&#x27;t get a job, maybe they had someone local or cheaper and didn&#x27;t want to bring in someone from outside the bay area.  Usually ask $150k for a full-stack senior dev in SF, is that reasonable?
