This is my latest resume: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/1player/resume/master/resume.pdf

I have a ton of experience, also not pictured are 1000+ hours on Upwork on random short and long term projects. I can do backend, DevOps, systems administration, bespoke development. I know C, Go, Python, Elixir, Rust and the frontend tech.

Yet I get ghosted completely by recruiters. They set up a time to call and never call. I am lowering my rate down to very low levels for someone my experience (£600/d), and no call back whatsoever. The only requirement I have is fully remote work. Still, no answer whatsoever. Not even spam from the recruiters anymore. My resume lists half of the things I have worked on, but no point in making two pages long if no one even reads the first one. Even HN direct contacts have gone nowhere.

This is majorly impacting my self-confidence, and I am at a point that I will have to drop my 11+ year consulting career for full time employment. People keep saying there are more open jobs than engineers, but I call bullshit, I cannot see it.

What is going on? Is the British job market dead? Is it Brexit? Am I in some kind of black list? Is my CV just terrible? I am at a loss here.
