When is the best time of the year (generally speaking) to apply for jobs? I know the answer depends on a lot of things such as the size of the company, the budgets, headcount, etc.. I just started applying, and I am wondering if it is a good time. Edit: Please vote in which month you got hired at your current role.
If you have 1-2 YOE, the worst possible time is March through July.
Okay I see thanks. I guess now is a good time then.
Told yea
Starting near end of year is usually best because of refresher policies (ex. no refresher first calendar year).
Is this true outside of Google as well, and do you know which companies?
New fiscal year or new calendar year. Spring/Summer is worse with new grads and interns.
Our reqs usually freeze by mid year. By April you see people getting hired who probably wouldn’t get hired earlier in the year. If you don’t use the req you lose it.
For MSFT, new roles will sometimes be posted in July because it's the beginning of the fiscal year and sometimes teams are waiting for budget to go into effect to be able to hire new headcount.
