Applied to 20 companies, 0 responses (except rejections). Working at Google rn.
I have 4 YOE SWE and around $300k TC. I figured I would freshen up on interviews and apply to some companies.
My resume is good (at least to me) and I definitely am more qualified for roles now than I was 4 years ago, but damn it’s near impossible to get interviews in 2020 it seems. I thought that now since I had a good name on my resume that my response rate would be better, but it’s still dogshit.
Just posting this so that people out there who are struggling to change jobs or find a job that it’s a rough time for everyone in 2020, don’t feel alone.
Does anyone have tips for finding a job / changing jobs in 2020?
Update: I ended up hearing back from 5 of the companies with more steps forward. I guess I didn’t wait long enough before assuming I was ghosted.
TLDR of comment section: Create a LinkedIn and get referrals where possible.
