Just looking for advice, is using easy apply on LinkedIn worth it at all or no for climbing the IT ladder and pay?

It seems like the lazy man's approach but has anyone actually been successful in getting work from those types of applications? I've always done it manually with a cover letter.

In this market your best bet is probably to have your resume delivered to the hiring manager via carrier pigeon.

It doesnt hurt but doing more for the perforect role stands a better chance. Its competitive out there right now. Im looking for 5+ months 400+ submittals. Some have been the easy apply, some customized. I need to pay for things so taking the easy apply on some things and hoping for the best will have to do but my resume is customized countless times over.

Always, go to companies website. The website will also let you know how long the original job posting was posted. I’ve seen quick apply for roles posted on websites 30 days ago.

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

I got a call from the Google recruiter about my L7 em interview Google She said I did overwhelmingly good on all interviews except one had mixed feedback on a system design. No surprise because it was not a good interview. The recruiter said i had a choice to go to hiring committee, give referrals they could call about my system design or take another system design interview. I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?
