I lost my job at the end of Feb (notified mid Jan). I had 2 offers in hand by the 3rd week of March and started the second week of April…so plenty of opportunities out there, but it took a solid 90 days from my first application to start date.

Have had 4-5 interviews over the past few months but still haven’t cracked it. In two, I reached the final round. For one, they went with an internal candidate. Mind you, these have been at big companies (think adobe and Salesforce), so I know competition is tough. But still…I am finding way to get into interview processes, it just takes a lot of outreach/networking. Zero of these interviews have come from cold applying. All have come from being referred, and then hunting down the hiring manager/recruiter and directly emailing them.

It's challenging. Have made it to 7 final rounds in the past year with 0 conversions. That said, getting interviews has not been crazy difficult.
