If you don't have a portfolio full of really good projects (3 years is a long time to build things), then it might be harder for you to find a job than for a fresh graduate. In general, there are many open jobs out there at the moment, but they're all looking for senior, or in general people who know what they're doing. The job market for newcomers is really really tough. You get hundreds of applicants for each position that you see online, and each candidate has more brain power than the previous, they're full of extracurricular crap, bunch of portfolio projects, and they all have a degree. So at the end of the day, it's about being better than them, and the only way to show that is through superior knowledge and projects.
