I don’t think so? I got a job as a team lead two months ago with seven years experience. Not sure what OP is doing wrong here. The market was HOT earlier this year, but I don’t think it’s “bad” at this point. We just hired another dev and are hiring another team lead probably next year to spin off a new team.

Maybe OP needs to consider doing mock interviews or something to figure out what it is that’s going wrong? I’m a good interviewee and got the first job I applied for.

Maybe you worked at the same place for a long time and developed bad habits? Maybe you’re bad at selling yourself?

I once interviewed someone who said he was a team lead at a company for six years. He straight up made up answers to some of the technical questions. It was horrifying. I’m not saying that’s OP but he definitely needs an objective voice to step in and figure out what the malfunction is in the interview process. Maybe ask a friend in tech to perform a mock interview? They can feel silly but also can really help.
