I'm a senior web developer based in New York City with 10 years of experience, mainly working in small teams and taking on responsibilities for architecture. Lately, I've been struggling to get any traction in my job applications for senior roles. I'm curious what tech stacks or job titles are currently generating responses in NYC. Has anyone noticed specific technologies or trends that are leading to more job interest?

I've been getting a ton of requests for jobs involving Laravel, WordPress, and React. My suggestion would be to create an AI-enhanced resume, as many companies use AI in their hiring processes now. Your applications might be getting overlooked simply for missing the right keywords!
I've noticed a lot of demand for Laravel and the LAMP stack lately. One tip that really helped me is to take the job description for the role I'm applying for and input it into AI tools like ChatGPT, alongside my resume. This way, you can check for keyword alignment. Aim for around 95-100% match since recruiters often look for those keywords, which can really boost your chances! Good luck!
Are those requests coming from recruiters or freelance gigs? I'm open to both and would love to hear any suggestions!
