If there was such then no one would go through job loss, it can't be that such God can give you a job but not be the one who took it away if it's that powerful. So if there's a God it doesn't care about us.

The UK market is doing poorly but I changed to a commute where 3 days a week is unrealistic. I can be onsite once a month :)
I'm sorry if I'm being too blunt, but it looks like you just cannot afford that location any more. It could really be wise to consider moving.
That being said, this is about unemployment not affordability. I can afford where I am, if I had a job

Honestly, like the international landscape for salaries has kind off like normalised itself. Wages for SWEs are more or less the same across the globe when you look at remote work. Intelligent people are cutting costs instead of trying to earn more money
In the US I have noticed that the tier 2/3 tech cities SWE salaries seemed to raise a bit with covid and level off. The Tier 1 tech cities they seem to (outside of AI) have dropped a bit after the covid boom amid massive layoffs. Remote seems to be kind of independent of location but I see some remote places paying more Tier 2/3 level salaries
In the UK you're usually "discovered" by a company's talent team or independent recruiters.
I've had very little to no success with direct applications
Why is Hacker News so interested in regular software jobs? Isn't the idea of the site to "hack" as in thinking outside the box, building your own projects and companies, doing things in interesting new ways?
Agreed, although the issue is that it's damn difficult to find something real that is at the intersection of: (1) pleasing users, (2) making them pay, (3) actually being useful, (4) being possible to get off the ground without a multi-year investment in time or money, and (5) remaining profitable or even revenue-generating for at least say three years before competition or evolution gets to it. It's a lot easier to h…
I do believe in the 1 man SaaS legends. Any of us could build a little app overnight and watch it succeed.
I just don't have the sales/marketing muscle to my efforts

I'm open to be partially onsite
Beggars can't be choosers. If you are having the worst career winter of your life shouldn't you be taking whatever you can get? Whether its 5 days a week in office or full remote or anything in between?

Still have a job but I'm stuck in a role with no growth and no challenging or even valuable work. Idk how I'm supposed to talk about the last 2 years in interviews and every move up and out. I would have left earlier but it's challenging
Remember that for remote roles you are competing against the best talent in the world, and most of them can afford to work for a tiny fraction of what you are asking for. There are still plenty of jobs at local software shops, banks, consulting firms, hospitals, government agencies and more, and you are at the front of the line for all of those. A lot of them enforce as little as 2-3 days in the office. Apply there i…

I strongly advice you not to leave, this is a hard market
Hopefully future employers are sympathetic to the situation some of us (alot of us?) are in
