Is the job market for SDE still bad?
I had been submitting multiple job applications but did not get much responses. There are some recruiters who reached out but later said that the application got filled up within 2 weeks. I believe i am getting less responses because I have not been applying through internal referral. Can someone tell me whether their companies are hiring and refer me? #microsoft #engineering #software #swe #tiktok #oracle #ibm #apple #google #nvidia
Yes, same and even have friends in the same situation
It feels bad. Last time I was interviewing I only applied at like 5 companies, and got interviews at 3 of them and ended up accepting an offer at the one I was most excited to work at when I started applying. Now I can barely get even recruiter calls after applying at dozens of companies. Not even a rejection email 90% of the time. Dispiriting when you've spent hundreds of hours interview prepping. Even most startups offering half my current TC where I applied mostly for interview practice haven't responded.

Just curious what’s ur TC. I have been feeling like I am underpaid. I am at IBM first job out of college. I have been with them for 7 years. My TC is 160k bonus 7k But the good thing is I am at research and my WLB is very very good. I can work 2-3 hours a day. Go skiing or even in another country for a week and nobody would say anything.
Will only get worse. Too much supply.
Same here lol
