> I’m having a totally different experience than the others I’m seeing here I also feel like you have a different perspective. It's not just about the actual experience. Some complain about how hard it was to get a job, when they just needed a few weeks or months to get one. They were also surprised to have been turn down by some companies, which is healthy. You can't match everywhere. You're not qualified on everything. Job ads are minimalist to ambiguous, so tech teams have to do a lot of filtering to make up with what HR published. You may also want to apply outside of your comfort zone, because you don't risk anything,... Also, some seem surprised to have to interview. While 8 is definitely too many, it makes sense to do some, when you apply for positions with experience. You're no longer graduate, they want to know about you. I was also surprised by users who reported to have a lower wage now, which is probably still much higher than the median income in the USA Such views don't picture a weak market, but a more realistic market. We're mostly among well paid tech industry workers here, so we can complain about the processes. But out of respect for most workers who earn up to the median wage, it's not decent to call these times a difficult job market. I hadn't fully realise what kind of bubble the tech jobs used to be over there, before reading this thread. Anyway, gg for getting a nice job.
