Ignore 300+ applicants. That always have been the case, but maybe exacerbated now when there is a lot of scam bootcamps promising one becomes a developer after a month. So you have a ton of people like this applying. > expects you to be a superstar leetcoder, with the wherewithal to go through 6-8 interviews and IQ test. Ignore these too. If a company is unreasonable, I see no reason why I should follow through with the interviews. Also make sure you do work adequate to the pay. If company does not pay well, don't do overtime, don't do a great code, just something that works. Basically do bare minimum and no more. Sadly engineers kind brought it upon themselves. I am at fault too. When I was young I would pull all-nighters at the office all the time to get features done and beating increasingly shortened deadlines. That eventually led me to depression and other issues. Also I didn't feel all that effort in my bank account.
