My wife was a software engineer at a mid tier company in the networking domain. She was laid off in May 2023. She has had very few interviews and is still looking. She is not open to me asking about the whole process and shuts me out. So looking for some high level info on how hard it is for software engineers to find a job now. Some background My wife has a masters + 6 years of work ex. She is not aiming for MAANG jobs. Experience is mostly in Java, python, golang. Has not ventured into AI ML. Edit:: thanks for all the useful replies. I have a better picture now. Tc: $450k
The problem is in the last line, AI is unavoidable, not having experimented with it sends a strong negative signal. (On top of the market being hard in general)
harder than the mornings
How hard? What are the levels of "hard"? How hard is hard enough for you and how does that help when you already know its hard?
She should be getting interviews. Probably too selective of place she wants to work.
Harder than Ron Jeremy on set
Answering question in title: very hard.
I’d add: if you don’t know people - very very hard.
