Yeah. So far the iterative approach has been working out. I haven't really tested the waters in a while.

I just wish that "single line" wasn't such a deal breaker.

It is indeed unfortunate, and for what it's worth I think you are not the person people are generally trying to filter out by requiring a degree, given your skills and track record. So you probably would benefit from meeting more people in the industry in person. It also sounds like you've made good choices so far in getting your new career started. I hope you get everything you're going for.

Yeah you're probably right. Maybe I'll do what I'm doing for the time being, and start spending time applying once when or if the market gets better. I was in a much different spot last time I sent out an application. I've learned a lot since then.
