Senior developer trying to get back into coding and better job
I am senior software engineer with 15 yoe but for last 6-7 years hardly coded. My TC currently is 115k and with same company for last 6 years. I am 38 years old now and realized that I have wasted lots of years and trying to catch up now. I have given myself 5-6 months to get ready and get better job and better pay package.
I am open for software or senior software roles. I am canadian citizen and willing to relocate as well. I gave my first interview (at Meta) in 6 years but i failed very badly but i am trying and getting ready for the next ones. I am actively resolving problems on leetcode now and improving.
Is it too late to start coding? Will i face age discrimination? All i want is 200k base tc + bonus +shares in next 6-8 months. Is it out of reach or should i am for 150k jobs without bonus or RSU? Is it too late for me to get in FAANG or tech companies?
Thank you in advance. #swe

3 might be right, but realistically 1-2 months is ok too.
Went from 175k TC to 600k
If so, some leetcode brushing and you can probably get 300+
Keep an open mind. You just need to get your groove back
