Job hunting in 2026. My figures!!!
8 long months!!!
- 950 applications
- 350 automated rejections || 37% rejections | 63% no response nor rejection
- 40 interviews at different levels || 4.2% of 950
- 11 interviews into the last round || 28% of 40 companies
- 1 offer. Total of 10 days from application to offer.
○ 3 total interviews (screening, technical & hiring manager). Offer one day after the last interview.

Judging by the hiring process it should be a great company. The truth will be seen one I start. It’s for a government contractor which is highly demanding due to the nature of the services provided. On the pkus side it’s a fully remote job.

How do you qualify for 950 jobs?

It really depends on your experience and the type of role you’d had in the past and what you’re targeting. For example, project management and program management are very closely tied with variations. Some companies (mid-market and below) would hire one to do both roles with less volume over all

Did an interview yesterday that was supposed to be behavioral, but turned out to be more like the case interviews I did in undergrad.
