Have you considered having your resume professionally optimized? I hired someone on upwork for less than $100 and the difference it made was almost immediate. Good luck, and don't give up. You'll find something soon!!!

I’d recommend you to read this post.
Best of lucks with your search. 💪

I know how it feels to be stuck in this cycle. I applied to over 30 jobs last year before I finally landed a job, and it was a challenging experience. The key is to stay motivated and continue to keep applying. Don't let rejection emails or ghosting from recruiters discourage you; keep putting yourself out there and you will eventually find success.

Consider this: you did not fail the interview; rather, the interview failed to find the position that is suitable for you.

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
