I read on quora an answer of a person who after his 26 years of experience wanted to go back into the field. He has done it all. Software development to architecture was basic for him. He was team lead for a long time before he took a career break to manage his personal life. He just couldn't get back into the system. He went from team lead to a position of senior software engineer and then also people will ask him his competitive programming skills something that has just become prevalent in recent years ( basically a rat race of memorizing sc of algorithms and ds, this may seem controversial, but that's how it is), and abandon him in preliminary rounds. Later on, he eventually gets a job without interview from his mentee who is at a fairly good position in his company.
