Day 3. Sometimes I wish I could get inside recruiters’ minds just to understand what they’re really looking for. I’m currently exploring opportunities in Data Analytics and Software Development, and the process really makes you realize how much happens behind the scenes. Every application feels like a different puzzle for candidates trying to grow in their careers.

5 months to the day for me today. It's a crazy job market out there, at some point you have to realize that the problem isn't lack resume optimization or a certain number of applications, it's simply that there are an unprecedented number of people looking for work in tech.

I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.
