I’m a fullstack web dev with 7 years of experience, and been casually searching for the past year or so, but most applications don’t go anywhere, when I’ve had no problems with resumes in the past.
How have your experiences been, anyone having any better luck?
Netherlands. It’s awful. The American “copy your resume in tiny fragments into our web form” has arrived here and I hate it
Better than AI immediately discarding your resume for not hitting keyword density set by uninformed HR drones.
Can we agree those both suck?
10+ YoE here.
Companies’ hiring processes have become very slow. I applied and got interviews with 4 companies. I only got offers from 2 of them because the others were so slow. Meta was the slowest, 6 months to first interview.
That said, the offers were $800k/yr and $500k/yr total comp so I can’t complain. The catch was mandatory in-office in downtown SF. I’d have to move. It was a hard decision if I’m being honest.
Jesus SF salaries are insane.
What does YoE stand for
YoE mama
Years of experience
10 years of sys admin/dev ops, got a full redundancy package September last year. Market was really hot at the time, but I wanted some time off due to health stuff. Since the start of the year it’s been pretty dead, there are some positions here and there but the interest is way way less than it was even at the start of my career.
3 YoE here as a full-stack dev. I’m not getting shit. Apps are in the multiple hundreds, and not one interview anywhere.
2+ years of experience full stack web dev here. It has been hell. The entry level for IT is so saturated that I think they don’t even bother checking resumes anymore. It sucks.
The job market for IT specialists is the whole world, isn’t it? Stacks are globally the same, and English is the common language in IT.
THREADNECRO. In my experience, middle managers and direct managers prefer employees they can keep an eye on, so “global” employees are difficult for them – and they’re closer to the hiring than the higher ups who only want to reduce costs.
If the position is full-remote, yes.
