I'm closing in on three years without my usual job as a front end developer looking to go full stack. I tried to add AWS to my stack and hopefully DevOps and have nearly 17 years as a web developer. I had to rent my place out because of the lack.

I know what my holes are, but thanks to gap jobs, I feel as if my excuses are running thin on interviews and phone screens.

I can't decide on either to just pivot or stay and try volunteering since upwork is crap. Ideas?

Honestly, I would pivot or at least start applying to roles that would be a pivot. The more you do at this point and the more things you consider doing the better your chances are.

Hi fishes
