You talk about a "job", a "decent job" and then your "dream job". There's a huge difference among all of them. I don't think I have found my "dream job" yet (and I have being working in the industry over 10 years). To find a normal "job", I think it depends on how many CVs I send (the more I send, the faster I'll get an "accepted"). Now a "decent job" takes both time on your side (investigating companies, their social media, blogs, etc.) and preparation (chances are that "decent jobs" come from "decent companies" and they have some sort of tech interview that's not easy to pass). > Also, RUMOUR HAS IT that there is a huuuge decrease in demand in the IT sector. Which I personally don't believe (or even if it is, it's not that significant). There was, and there is a huge demand in the IT sector. What happened during covid (even more demand) or after it (lay-offs) is just a tiny variation. The IT industry has still a huge demand for labor and it will only increase in the future (because of the demand itself, and because first-world countries are not producing people as fast as before (read Population ageing)). Now if you or your gf is looking for a job at faang, then that's different. Faang doesn't represent the IT sector, so it has its own rules and all.
