Honestly you need to spray and pray. Most remote jobs get 100+ applications in a matter of hours. You really need to have a good resume, apply as soon after it gets posted as possible, and work multiple angles (referrals, connect with the hiring manager, comment on LinkedIn posts so you’re prominent, etc…)
Probably THOUSANDS at this point... or at least that's EXACTLY how it feels! SMH
The best thing you can do now is to figure out what you liked about the other job and what you dislike. Then, search for options.. This sounds pretty good. I am guessing Dell's competitors would be a great option, or even smaller companies on a higher level would be great too.
I'm looking into competitors and resellers currently. Resellers seem to love ex Dell employees for obvious reasons so that may be the easiest option. I was getting very good money for my age and experience at Dell though, I'm not sure a reseller will give me that.
The screening process with 100's of candidates flooding the job opportunity. Your best bet is to connect with others you have worked with who have moved on. The best advise I was given in my career was that "Its's not what you know, it is who you know that know what you know". Don't hesitate to reach out to those in your circle of influence, and schedule an informal meeting next week to discuss what opportunities they see given the changing business environment. Most people are willing to share their opinions over a cup of coffee, in an informal environment. It is always managers I worked with that provided the fast track thru the HR screening process.
I am not in your field but here is some sites to look at.
Dice.com
LinkedIn
Expresspro.com
Indeed.com
Etc. Etc.
I'm figuring you know these. Keep looking.
What are you looking for?
I'd like to stay in Tech. Trying to at least maintain my salary, roughly $110k with at least some WFH. I'd sacrifice some money for remote.
What’s yor present role?

Yeah heard about the Dell layoffs seems like every big company is slimming down. Good luck with your search.
Apply to every job that's like yours. If you have connections, then use them. If there's a close competitor that people jump back and forth with, then apply there. The job market's not great right now. Unless you have enough non-retirement money saved to live on for several years without a paycheck, you're not in a position to be picky.
