Nothing, its always been easy for me to get jobs as a developer, I don't understand people that find it difficult. If you have at least one years full-time experience and are competent on the job then most companies I've known will be desperate to hire you as there is such a huge shortage of good developers.

Sorry if thats conceited.

That's what I thought until I tried to go remote.

There isn't a huge shortage. If there was they would take on people with proven skill in related languages and train. There is a shortage with developers with 3-5 years experiencd having the exact stack the company is looking for.

Interesting point. I have stuck with the same stack for about 6 years so maybe this is why I find it easy to get jobs?

As for remote work, the majority of the jobs I've had have been either fully remote or partial - like between 1-3 days a week in the office, the rest from home. Never found any difference when applying to remote jobs myself.

"Can do" attitude is a good selling point. "Better than you" is not.
