1. this sounds like a disguised ad…
2. the monthly pricing doesn’t make sense, it’s too low for them to be sustainable as business, especially considering the offered features.
3. any cloud storage company that offers lifetime plans should not be taken seriously.
4. the only positive here is that their FE apps are open source.

Believe it or not, with the right skill set (ie if you have skills that employers are looking for) you won’t even need to apply. Headhunters WILL find your linkedin. Right now the market is noticeably slow and thousands of IT professionals got laid off in the last few months alone. The economy will recover soon though so maybe get ready for when that happens by learning new skills. AI, big data, IaC, etc are all in demand.

3 (all contracts and by choice). But I did at least a dozen interviews in the same period and no one ever asked about any diplomas.

There’s a lot of good advice here. I just want to add that you absolutely do not need to go back to school. It’s a waste of money! I’m 100% self-taught, work in “DevOps” and not a single employer in the last 6 years has asked me about my education or credentials. I enjoy it and it pays well. You don’t have to do DevOps though. Lots of jobs in IT and employers are competing for skills.
