I don't put myself out there at all and I've always found it incredibly easy to find jobs in the tech industry. As a matter of fact I get calls from recruiters at least once a week and the most I've got is 5 calls in a week, for jobs that honestly are at least decently paid. It's even worse because I have being stalling a degree in finance (yeah I'm weird like that...) for the last 4 years, while working as a developer. So I don't even have a degree. At this point I'd probably explain this because I have work experience that 'proves' me but I didn't have it at the beginning and I still found it easy anyways.
