That's an interesting contrast, reading about your experience I'm not sure whether I'm doing it right or I'm doing it wrong. Usually when I'm looking for something new to do, I pick and apply to a few positions at most, and if I get a good offer, go with that. Every now and then I also fire some one-off shots if there's a position that sounds extremely interesting, even if it's realistically unlikely to land. Applying to hundreds of positions sounds arduous and hard to manage, how do you do it?
- nsxwolf 3y agoWell, for now I'm not managing it because I've stopped. After surviving a round of mass layoffs, I wanted to answer the question "How screwed would I be if I got laid off in this job market right now?" And the answer I came to is "very!" The experience was very draining, and it was interfering with my work and my home life. The last thing I wanted to do was lose my job because of job search created performance issues - so now I'm holding off on this until I have no choice.
