I’ve been in software development for over 26 years now, and I’ve been unemployed going on 6 months, without a single interview, even though I apply for multiple listings a day. I’ve got enough savings to be ok for quite a while yet, and am bringing in a little bit of income from my woodworking hobby, but I am starting to get worried. I have no idea how those without the same kind of safety net as me are handling this, but it can’t be good.
I feel that. I have plenty to coast for a long time, I could start a vintage electronics repair biz but I fear dealing with people and their fickle unrealistic expectations.

I’ve only been in my field for about 14 years now. I’m afraid it isn’t the right time to look, so I’m holding on to my job for the life of me.
