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.

One thing that was interesting is I was offering $40/hr. They wouldn't even let me. So I'm now just offering "whatever is the lowest amount you'll offer". It's actually getting fascinating results. They get super excited about my potential and immediately "oh no no we'll get you a salary that's worth it, you should be worth our max or this". And I'm like "ok but I'm offering this. What you said is ok and good." and they're like "ok excellent! now this.."

Totally better outcomes and the pay rate (offered at stage 0) ends up exactly the same.

I would never hire a discount programmer. I don't want someone who writes buggy code.
