I scored about 4 interviews in a month in November last year when I was just passively looking, and that too for a career change. I switched gears to active search around July and the rate of interviews I am getting is about 1 per month for the roles I am targeting. So yes, there is marked difference.

Okay so, its been a while since I've been seeing this in Linkedin:
The Job requirement says its Entry Level, but the experience it requires is always 6 year+... like how would a fresher match that.. should I've started coding at 6th grade or what?

I understand that it's a way of "SEO" in LinkedIn but it just discourages us freshies.

Actually not sure if this post belongs in this bowl but.. it is what it is?
P.s. I still apply to these because what's the worst that could happen... right?
