I am actually not. I worked for two years in old technologies on boring projects with horrible management. There were no ways to improve skills or learn anything new. So when I wanted to change my job I was meeting "2yr experience" requirements but I didn't feel I really had it. I knew that I was back to the bottom, at the lowest tier of developers, even lower than "juniors" in local job market.

But I tried and finally found a new job. All I do in my current job I learned myself from scratch. Never did such things before in my professional career. I do decent money and have wonderful and very helpful team. I think in a few months I'll get confident with my skills.
