Is it normal to get rejected from every tech company you apply to (20/20) despite applying from a M7? I’m wondering if me working at a small unknown company prior is hurting me. Going for strategy and product marketing management roles with a background in strategy & ops at my old company. Avoiding pm roles bc they’re too competitive.

Competition in tech right now is extremely high. Even people with tons of experience are having a hard time securing offers.

My club told me networking/referrals doesn’t help for most companies besides google and maybe other faang, is that true? I had my resume checked by 3 people + a career center person.

What firms have you heard from? I've applied to internships and have heard from like 2 ( 1 interview, 1 reject)

What workday role did you apply for? They did something weird with my app

Yes - the market is terrible right now. There are far less opportunities available in tech right now than ever before. It also sounds like you don’t know that Product Marketing is as desirable as PM roles. BTW, the companies you mentioned receive thousands and thousands of resumes.
