Thanks for the good input. Glad it worked for you. I had read a little bit on support/resistance, higher high/low theory etc. But I find them very boring. ( In fact everything around technical analysis). As I said, I am not looking at trading. The idea was to use technicals for a better entry price.

Thanks for input. I want to keep things simple. So not looking at puts etc

Thanks. Very well said. I agree with you. I am actually passionate about non price data like cash flows, balance sheet, income statement, PE, EV/EBIDTA, etc. But I have seen a lot of long term fundamental based investors talking about using technical analysis (price data) to get a better entry point. In that context, I wanted to try technical analysis. To be honest, I dont like technical analysis. Find it very boring.

Thanks for the input

Thanks. You are right. It is quite complicated.

Thanks for the input. Nope. I never really liked options etc

No evidence. But I have seen a lot of fundamental based investors talking about using technicals to get a better entry point.

Thanks. Thats interesting. I have seen a lot of people follow this strategy. The problem is, what if the new high is the top?

Thanks. I think fair price is subjective. Gone were the days stocks had reasonable valuations.

therealdavesky , I am sorry to hear that. I suggest, dont get demotivated. Keep trying. I am sure you would find one. Good luck.

@all, Is this a general trend for experienced devs? Lets say, someone doesn't have a gap in resume and is well versed with the current tech, system design etc and the current employer is fairly reputed. (Say top 25 in terms of market cap in the US). Will this problem still hold? My understanding is that, at 20+ yrs experience, people expect us to be in leadership roles such as director etc. But then, not everyone can get to that level.

Requirements: Nice UI, CRUD, REST API to begin with.

Didn't get. Could you elaborate?

Thanks. Thats very useful.

Thanks

Thanks. Interesting

Thanks

Thanks for the useful info. I am not sure open to job is a good thing to do. People might assume the person is desperate for a job

Thanks. By familiarity, do you mean using it in the day job?.

Thanks

Thanks for the info

You are right. I am a little reluctant to do so because my current employer/colleagues will also notice it. Anyways, lets see

Thats intersting. Thank you

Thanks. That gives some confidence to me. In fact, I too have done a lot of POC around new tech like elasticsearch etc and I am enjoying it. But my actual job doesn't involve any of these. Unfortunately the recruiters insist on using it in the actual project.

Thanks

I didn't mean to say 20+ yrs of experience is an advantage. Its the other way around. My worry is that the application may not even be considered because of 20+ yrs of experience. Skill can be proved only after getting an interview.

Thanks. Yah. 2 weeks is not enough. But I could sense the overall trend. Yes. I need to make my resume marketable. My linkedin activity also is empty. Although, I have done a lot of POC's, none of them are in public places like github etc. Agree with you that skills, quality of work etc matter the most. But that can be proved only after getting an interview call.

Thanks. You are right. Not working on a particular tech should not be the reason. Fundamentals are more important.

Good to hear that.

Thanks. Its not harsh at all. Btw this is not in america. I agree with you. We will never do well if we are in the comfort zone.

Thanks. It will be embarrassing for me to approach him since I turned down twice. Anyways, will approach him in the worst case scenario.
