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.

I’m not a programmer or anything like that, but..same principle applies for what I do. I would have a couple of big gaps (one for two+ years) on my resume, but I had my own clients during that time and/or was doing contract work for companies.

Granted, I’m actually being truthful and could supply proof by way of 1099’s if I had to, whereas it sounds like you couldn’t..

But then, no one has ever actually asked for any proof from me that I actually did consulting/contract work during those times, either.

I’d say that so long as you can speak about your consulting/contract work during those times confidently and believably, you’ll be fine.
