It's confusing to me because literally every single one is a $110k- senior level position. I just need a job to 'get back in the market'. It doesn't matter what it is so long as it's real. I can work myself up from within the same company, get raised to a senior level pay or just bounce to another company from there. But literally there seems to be no non senior level positions. I'm all over kill for them, but I guess because of my "2 year gap" and what'll even be worse, maybe no references that'll answer the phone anymore, they're going to demote me to "entry level" jobs. But there are none. They won't even let me offer half pay for the same job.

Time to get a burner phone or two and brush up on your impersonations for the references. Just don't go with an accent. I can see how impersonating an Indian may get you an actual, American born, no accent indian talking to you in their native dialect. Good luck, job hunting bro

Ha Ha I've thought of this. It's absolutely ridiculous and revolting level to lose a good offer / opportunity simply because people I don't have any control over don't want to answer the phone / email that I know I am well / over qualified for the job for. I worked 8 years for one company. I did the right thing. Now all my preferred references are 10 years in the past. What am I supposed to do? I did what was right. At this point if someone had a 5+ year at job I'd be telling them look for an exit while your references from there are still good because if something goes sour and a recession happens you are d.e.a.d. career wise.
