It's time to throw the line out again.
I have been working in SRE for 13 years. I am a specialist in Observability, Incident Management, and DevEx. I have also managed teams and been certified in observability, agile, and unix operating systems.
In June of 2025, I was suddenly laid off. I'm still jobless in my seventh month of trying to find work.
I'll be completely honest, I don't know why I can't find a role, I'm either over- or under-qualified, I either give too much detail or not enough, I don't tell it like a story or I tell it too much like it's a story. It's making me feel legit schizophrenic.
The people I used to work with have been shocked when I tell them I can't find work. One of them even said:
"you have such a great mix of talents that I wish more engineers had, and I still cite you as an example of the type of people I want to work with"
If you know of any leads in the SRE, DevEx, DevOps, InfoSec, or anything of the sort, I'm still searching as hard as I can.
