Have you stuck around in the same company? If you've moved to another position or company, do you feel that once you got the foot in the door, in the industry rather than the company, it was easier to find the next position?
I'm a professional PHP, Python and Javascript developer from the UK. I've worked with Django, Laravel, and React, among others. I also maintain a legacy Zend 1 application.
I've worked for four different companies for any length of time, and it was definitely much easier afterwards.
In 2016 my then-employer went into liquidation, so I was made redundant and had to find a new position. At that point I was coming up to five years in the industry and I had never before had such a high proportion of offers to interviews. I had three offers and one that probably would have made an offer had I not made it clear I wasn't interested.
