I used to be hesitant to apply if I didn't feel I could fit perfectly their requirements but now, after several jobs where when you're there, you noticed you don't even use what they required at hiring time, I decided to not let that stop me from applying.
Now, my greatest obstacle is that I chose the tech support route and it's hard to get back to development (even though I still program daily).
Hey! It's always hard but never too late. If you still love programming then try doing some side projects, study for the interviews and get in the path again. If tech support is your thing, that's cool as well!
Yeah, I started a side business to hopefully be able to keep programming.
Unfortunately, I had to choose between work-from-home tech support or in-office programming (not many programmer roles with WFH here) so I went with tech support because my dream was to work from home full time.
