Job Hunting in Tech

Engineering Manager

What am I doing wrong? I'm a professional with over eight years of experience, and I've never been unemployed for more than 15 days in all that time; there's always been a project or company interested in my services. But now, simply finding a job is becoming incredibly difficult. I'm a software engineer, but for the past few years, I've worked as a Tech Lead or Engineering Manager, and I've even founded my own startup. What's the secret sauce to landing a good tech job these days?
