Ask HN: Have you tried changing careers lately?

The job market for software engineers is bad right now, like REALLY bad. I have 20 years of experience and a very eclectic background, a GitHub portfolio, a working SaaS product that I built myself (as full stack as you can get), and I have a tech blog.

Not only do I not get any interviews, I do not even get any initial HR phone screens, just "thanks but no thanks" emails weeks later.

There are so many developers sloshing around in the system that I feel like most of the hiring is happening through internal networks - a lot of folks know other folks who are very good and happen to be unemployed.

This will blow over, as it always does, but for now - has anyone tried changing their career? To which degree of success? What other jobs would a software engineer be good at? I have never done anything else since the early 2000s...
