Any progress, unemployed bros? #severance #layoff
Bidenomics
Took me exactly a year to find a new job
It's not that bad. But you need good interviewing skills. Maybe it can take 2 months. I got offer for senior software engineer position from Oracle OCI and Walmart. Got rejected earlier from Amazon, Uber and Lyft. Trying to interview with Meta and Google now. Let's see.
I’m not getting calls from most of the above companies these days . How did you manage to get calls from all ?
Reach out on linkedin. And for oracle apply as many positions as possible.
Hiring is happening, but only via pre vetted recruiter scouted talent, online applications are no longer read because of the volume of completely irrelevant spam applications. The number of people using auto applying tools, and the "it's a numbers game" crowd broke the applicant tracking system so even if you apply its probably going to an unmanaged inbox now.
How’s Tesla btw?
Hiring is for sure picking up across the company. Backfills for exits and resignations are all good to go again with no pushback, and new hires without a backfill seat now have a path for hire with exec approval which wasn't the case two weeks ago.
How is it compared to 2023?
my sense is that this is much better
The thing is, there’s a lot of jobs coming available, the hard thing is, too many competition.
Definitely better. Found a fully remote job paying more than my old one. Took a while though.
How long? I have been struggling for almost 3 months now
6 months casually searching.
