I have been looking for a developer position since 2013. I am still looking. I currently work as a test Engineer and have a steady income, but life is genuinely getting worse and worse as time goes by.
Contrast that with blog posts of 20 somethings telling you how to be happy and be productive on medium as they enjoy their Facebook job is quite frustrating and can make things worse. On top of that, I get banned here for trying to get real questions while other hide behind logic so I don't ever really get advice and guidance from people.
I am starting to build a brand in the hopes that I can make something out of it and never have to worry about finding a development job.
Besides not listening to people on the interwebs, I don't really have any advice. Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone.
edit: downvotes are cool. I expect it from this community. Don't let people get you down OP. Probably go somewhere more supportive
