Any other experiences?

I don't want to give out too much personally identifiable info, so just the basics....

I have 30 years behind me. Was a Java dev in the early days, then fell into .NET, hated it for a while (few people cared about design patterns, testing,etc) lots of JS, SQL Server, Oracle DB, cloud, devops, etc..

I was at a security and automation company, was doing well, but got pissant raises. My boss was as surprised as i was at my layoff.

I am perhaps too senior. I am actually interviewing at a fintech, wouldn't that be funny!
