How to break the vicious cycle of experience?

Question

Career in IT

I have been working as a PHP programmer for about 3 years now. During this time, I managed to work in one office for about half a year, and in two others for 1.5 years.

During this time, there were not particularly any high loads, work with queues and other things.
At the moment, I understand that I hit the ceiling from my own experience and every month the same thing. Already simple tasks that do not particularly require time and "brain resource".

I tried updating my resume on some job search sites.
There are no problems with calls. I don’t send my resume to anyone, but at the same time I receive 1-2 calls per day. They say it comes from experience. This is followed by an interview with team, where they ask about experience with high-load systems, but I don’t have it. Usually this is where it ends.

It turns out that there is no experience with high-load systems => they do not hire high-load systems => no experience with high-load systems.

Where to get this very experience if at the current place of work such work is not foreseen at all?

Answer 1

getting a job is a legalized form of prostitution: you are (ideally) trying to sell yourself for a higher price.
the employer doesn't give a fuck about your skills, from a huge bell tower. you need to convince him that you are capable of solving his problems, nothing more.
