I can't tell you how much rage I feel when I see all of these companies' stock prices skyrocket after they announce massive layoffs. Doesn't this just inspire more tech companies to cut their staff for the stock benefits?

Executives get mandated 15% raises annually but employees getting more than 3% was a stretch raise LOL 🤣

a lot of the time when you’re getting 0 interviews even with referrals, it’s usually one of 2 things: the resume isn’t matching the exact req language, or it’s not getting through the first screen cleanly. i’d check whether your bullets are actually mirroring the job posts you’re targeting, especially for stuff like software names, team size, infra, adtech / media terms, etc.

i had a stretch like this a while back and thought referrals would save me, but nope. what finally helped was stripping my resume down to one super boring ATS-friendly version and then tailoring just the top half for each role. if you’ve got any tables, icons, weird columns, or text boxes in there, i’d remove all of it too. I also ran mine thru ResumeJudge once just to see what keywords i was missing vs the posting, and it was kinda eye opening.

if you want, i can take a look at the scrubbed version and tell you where it might be getting filtered out. also, since you’re in los angeles and tech entertainment is so niche, are you applying more to studio side, streaming, or ad-tech adjacent roles? that changes the keyword mix a lot.

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time.
