Those of you PMMs job hunting right now - is there any point applying on a company’s career site? Or is that just like sending your resume into a black hole?
I read stories of people applying to 1000+ jobs and not getting one call back. That’s scary 😱

I’ve only been applying using this method. Finding jobs through LinkedIn and applying directly. It works, even for larger companies that are popular with applicants. The recruiters do see the resumes and respond.

There must have been a reason why that person didn’t get any callbacks. 1000 recruiters not interested in the candidate doesn’t mean that they system is broken. It means that the person may not have been the right fit, lacked the skills, or failed to show that they the required skills.

Some of them get reposted automatically through the software they use

Applying directly > applying through LinkedIn etc for sure.

Why is applying directly on a career site better than applying on LinkedIn? Don’t the recruiters responsible post the job to LinkedIn?

You need a referral to get in these days

Yea that’s my perspective too

I was interviewed for a perticular customer, which went well and also received an offer. Few days before of my joining date, i came to know that the technology stack from customer got changed and customer had no requirement for which i was hired. However parent company still hired me and now they're in process of allocating me in some other clients. Sometimes i feel insecure about this situation. How to cope up with such cases?

I’m currently interviewing with a few top 10 firms and a couple top 100 firms for a mostly remote experienced associate/new senior role.

I’m struggling to figure out that out because I used to gauge it on the feeling I got while in their office during interviews. Any suggestions would be helpful :)
