Been "looking" since November. I'm still averaging 1 recruiter message every few days on LinkedIn, but 95% of them are from agencies with vague pitches for contract roles I'm not interested in. The daily messages I used to get from recruiters hiring directly for permanent positions at medium-to-large US tech companies dried up sometime last year. I'm applying directly to open roles on those companies' websites instead, and usually hearing nothing back.
- the_only_law 4y agoYeah that sounds pretty close to what my experience has been recently. The most disheartening part so far has been getting ATS-rejected from a job, only to see the same job freshly posted again a few weeks later.
- moosedev 4y agoYeah, it's been an interesting emotional experience to flip from years and years of "I should have no problem getting a job at any tech company if I don't screw up the leetcodes" to "I'm not even worth a 30 minute recruiter chat for this role, let alone a technical phone screen or a full interview loop" :)
