I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.
Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.
JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

Honestly, when I was looking- I didn’t even count. When I had the energy, I was push them out.
I don’t have a carefree approach because when you’re applying to a lot of jobs, it’s an additional job to track them. I basically scheduled my days/ week on applying for jobs and the rest of my daily tasks. I was unemployed (full time) for 5 months and then landed two jobs (I was OE for a bit). One role I applied on their website, I located them through indeed and the other was on their website, I located them through LinkedIn. My current role I applied via their website and located them via LinkedIn. I’ve landed jobs through easy/ quick apply before, so I use all methods. I frequent indeed because it is still the number one job board. I’ve also noticed that roles are parsed from the ATS to their website quicker than to LinkedIns website. I still utilize zip recruiter, monster and career builder as well. For my previous two roles, I landed one in June and one in July. My new role, I landed in early august and started in September.
The first two weeks I put in as many as I had time to "customize" my resume, were a good fit, and I knew were good companies. I made sure to go directly to company site, apply for jobs i was at least 80% qualified, and use like keywords in my resume. For example if the ad requested Microsoft Office skills I changed Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc. to read Microsoft Office. Most days that was three resumes. I saved the career job search link in a document. I saved a copy of the ad, added a date, etc. This helped me avoid re-applying. The third week I was less selective on companies and had my pattern down. I used the job alerts I sat up the first week to go to hiring companies and had a decent list of companies on my daily job search. I reached out to former coworkers and let it be known that i was looking. I noticed a pattern in when companies posted jobs and by the fourth week could have been more efficient in my search but had second interviews lined up. I think one day on my second week I found 10 jobs to apply for that I was qualified and wanted. That was one day and a virtual job fair. By late week 3 I had enough requests for interviews I backed off and expanded my spreadsheet to compare all benefits (salary, PTO, holidays, medical, work environment, drive time, desire etc). I printed off the job ad, wrote notes on it, printed off extra resumes, bought some plain folders with pockets. I went to the job with the folder, a pen, extra resumes. After/during each interview I made notes. Stored any handouts I was given. Thankfully I never had to job search during December early January. I feel that would have added more days to the search. Who you know will get you a job the quickest. Reach out to contacts. Let them know you are looking for "specific type of job". They will let you know of anything closely related. I got the third job I applied and the second interviewed with. For the next six months I received calls. Several were.. you applied for job A but we filled it but now have job B.
Yes am satisfied
depends upon good matches with my profile..no fixed number…mindlessly applying is a waste of time imho
5 today
It depends, It takes time to customize the resume for each job, and maintain some sort of spreadsheet to track and follow up.
I've been applying for jobs since march 2023. I have had a couple of casual jobs in that time. Some background on me is that I am a pensioner , fit healthy but need extra to offset the pension so I am not just existing and actually going backwards an falling into debt.
I would say that on average I apply for 2 positions a day over a five day week. I am actually not expecting any more than a living wage although a better wage would be great. From my perspective (and it is a general feeling) there is a great deal Of ageism. Not too sure where I am going with this but for a rant and massive frustration
It depends on how the job is big, but for me it's a job by 15 days
At first, about 20 a day, then a few, now I would be lucky if just one. It seems that personally applying doesn't get results. I have come to rely more on recruiters. But then again, the tech job market sucks. I have to rely on my non-tech job to pay the bills.
0.5 applications
Pls guys is there a website where can i find a job that deals on assembling of Computer desktops, cloning, repair and maintenance,that are also willing to give visa sponsorship
Atleast 10
Let's just say it's a good thing my resume is virtual instead of paper.
Based in the UK, I've been firing off an average of five or so per day. I don't bother tracking them, or chasing up to check any progress (tempting though it is sometimes). If there is any positive news then the agent will contact one back, hunting you to the ends of the Earth if necessary!
There is no set number. But in IT you must meet the job's qualifications. If you are not in the mood, don't submit. You need to be excited about the job to get an interview.
When I graduated from University as a Magna in California ? 1 a week because it took those many hours to edit my resume to the very industry and to the evolving environment.
1. But my scenario is that ..yeah special.
