The job market is pretty bad right now. There are lots of high skilled and talented devs that need work after all the large layoffs. Out of college I applied to over 300 jobs and only heard back from 2. That’s with tailoring my resume and having intern work experience.
My friend who went to a far more prestigious school then me has applied to 2x more then I did and heard back from 3.
It’s pretty rough out there right now especially with the way the economy is going.
