Got this response from: Apple Google Tiktok Robinhood Snap Uber Most of my job applications are not resulting in interviews. Anyone else in the same boat? Why is that? What am I doing wrong?? Or is it just the market? SDE-2, Zillow, 220k TC.
Dm if youโd like to give TikTok another shot with a referral
Yeah were in a recession. I had two roles at a company the CFO referred me directly for, vouched to the hiring manager that any skills i lacked could be learned, and gave them my stamp of approval and i was rejected for both. Why take 5 YOE with 90% relevant experience when you can take 12 YOE with 100% relevant experience for the exact same price. Companies are not taking chances, they're hiring the most experience for the least money and there are plenty of people out there willing to take it.
Many companies are harvesting resumes or signaling a good economy while holding fake interviews. We are in a recession.
