You just have to be tenacious and use LI, speak to every recruiter that contacts you
You were a PM you would understand that nothing here says you are a Subject Matter Expert after 16 years.
If you want a job for 125k in your area, you need to be a quick asset for a busy company.
Just like DnD, you need a mage, warrior, cleric.
Some teams need a mage like yesterday and are actively seeking for one.
I will give a niche example, if you are an SME for Sentinel and KQL, you could land a job quickly for a team that needs a Sentinel guy.
That essay The Hedgehog and the Fox describes your situation well. You are a fox and the market wants a hedgehog.
At 16 YoE – you should be applying through your network (read: no cold applying) and should be able to demonstrate track record of managing projects/products successfully.
You must get past the catch-22 if you are doing a career change.
Any training program that promises you can get a high paying job without experience but has no solution to the catch-22 IS LYING and a giant scam.
