The current optimal strategy for new grad SWE applications is to shotgun as many out as possible as fast as possible. I know many people who’ve applied to 50+ new grad jobs (even in this market) and due to its many to many nature, many new

Ah! It seems your crystal ball is working better than mine. Could you tell me how you know a bigger crash is coming?
