For the HUNDREDS of resumes I’ve sent and positions applied to I’ve had little success. Deep sighs.
Why was this easier before technology?
I would really really really like a new opportunity.

Technology has opened the floodgates for high applicant volumes, making every process more competitive and requiring more and more specialized job experience, ways to stand out, ways to "game" any sort of tech tools screening for buzz words and other specific criteria that might be there in reality but that the tool might not catch.

Tldr; it's rough out there 😔

Yes. I wonder if the employers are finding it more helpful. Cant help but imagine the many talented team members I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to engage with if they had been screened due to not being an AI perfect. The soft skills that AI can’t capture….

Some old school approaches still work, like legit networking.

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?

Does anyone think it’s a good idea to beg for a job and put your personal life out there to get sympathy, because that is what I am seeing every day on LinkedIn and then the recruiters and everybody will comment and send the jobs and they will end up with a job or interview the next day.
I’m getting close to the point of doing that because it seems like it is working.
