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?
It was fairly quiet for a long time, one or two years at least, but as of a few weeks ago it seems that hordes of recruiters are at large again. That’s in Western Europe as a senior SRE, so YMMV.
Similar observation here, after 7 months of absolute hell of financial difficulties and humiliation forcing me to move back in with my folks I literally went to having a possibility of overemployment or being picky again literally over a couple of weeks which also gives me hope that compensation will finally start to catch up to the inflation.
Wonder why is that, but I would guess it might be that overzealous layoffs motivated by short-term bump in stock price started backfiring, especially considering the maintainability of so many, many commercial projects where turnover absolutely does not help.
Though I wouldn’t count my chickens before they hatch, the system is abso-fucking-lutely not rational and the global economy is on a path of going from crisis to crisis.
