Been out of the industry for 4 years any advice on how to get back in? /u/No-Zookeepergame6753 CSCQ protests reddit

Hello everyone, I graduated 2017 and worked as a software engineer for a 2 years before transfering to Technical Product Manager but had to step away to help family at the beginning of 2020. I’ve been trying to make the transition back into tech either as a PM or SWE but it just seems like a impossible battle.

Entry roles flat out rejects interviewing me and anytime I do get an interview, even if i get through the technical part I see the interviewers face sour when they see on my resume that I havent been in tech for 4 years.

Ive been doing leetcode pretty religiously but outside of that I feel like I dont actually know how to code anymore since I dont have day to day practice with non-leetcode related programming.

How should I best approach applying and interviewing? Would getting a masters be the only way for me to get more interviews? Are there any tools you guys can recommend that would get me back up to speed in other areas other than leetcode? Thanks a bunch.
