    I’m an American and I haven’t really had this problem. My career trajectory is weird in that I did systems and networks (with lots of automation because I’m lazy), then SRE, and now development.

    I get headhunters calling me weekly. I was able to take a low stress medium pay job for a few years to recharge and moved right back into a faster paced good paying job within weeks of deciding I was ready for it. I don’t know what jobs these folks are applying for but I very rarely see those “10 years experience in 2 year old language” jobs these days. A few years back they were all over the place, though.
