When you start a new job, you'll always have a 2-6 month period of getting to know your colleagues, platform and library stack. Use that time to learn. At the end of it, you'll be back to where you were.
Remember you're in software. An industry that where everything changes every 5 years. After you have a baseline affinity for software & technology, what matters is how fast you can learn and adapt.
Me? I've taught myself everything I know. I moved from UK to Holland at 26 so had to start again (I didn't speak the language, and don't live in Amsterdam - so that was a problem).
Now I'm 32, married, speak fluent Dutch, and have an awesome job working at a start-up in the enterprise space (think Meteor for grown-ups).
