Request: Any tech-recruiters on here who can validate this? I spent a single month in June job hunting (mid-level SWE, DE roles) and it was terrible. Hundreds of applicants per position. It felt like being a fresh-grad again. But that's just my anecdata
When I was looking none of that helped at all. People in my network would refer me to all kinds of jobs posted online but basically once submitted you'd still be ghosted. I'm not even sure those were real jobs because to this day they have the same listing posted.
