I seem to apply to a about 3 to 5 places and get an offer within that. I can't imagine 200.
Though I work on a team with a guy who told me he had to apply to about 80 places. I've read his CV and it doesn't have a lot of signals that scream hire me. His pathway into software engineering is very non-typical. Despite that he's a decent developer and a great colleague.
- soneca 6y agoThe reasons I believe impact my poor performance: - Graduated in Brazil (nobody knows my university) - Graduated in non-CS degree - Self-taught developer after careeer change with 37 yo (used freeCodeCamp.org, not even a known boot camp) - No famous (in the US) companies in my resume Probably more things that I don’t know. I have a similar numbers of interviews coming from my “Who wants to be hired” post [0] and from these ~200 applications [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24343085 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24343085
