Where’s the tin foil hat emoji when you need one?
But actually I might have been confusing what I’m seeing on job boards with what all the recruiters are telling me or it’s a stale vibe from several months ago. Took another look at LinkedIn, indeed, dice and it seems relatively balanced if not listing more jobs with my stack like you said.
Doesn’t change the fact that I’m not getting any interactions from these postings though. I finally got one response on indeed last week but after answering their questions and they said I was a strong candidate they directed me to a one way AI video interview site… 3 years ago I had recruiters banging down my door trying to get me into interviews left and right. Trying not to rant but long story short it’s not looking good for tech.
Hard to not worry about it when after 2 years of applying to 2-4 every other day you get no responses. Like surely you’d think a resume with 10 years of experience would at least warrant a phone screen. I have several theories but I’m probably just another “armchair expert”
