100 applications, 80 auto replies, 50 actual responses, 30 immediate rejections, 27 we are no longer hiring, 12 void of silence, 5 invites to fill out another battery of questions, 2 actual interviews one of which canceled while you're in traffic.
I'm so frustrated right now with trying to find a new job. I've been promised about 15 interviews, only for them to be cancelled 24-48 hours beforehand. The market I'm in is saturated after the massive tech layoffs that have happened this year.
Disney hurt me the worst, I was laid off earlier this year. Unfortunately for me now, they're a heavy Ruby on rails ecosystem. Which means a lot of more experienced developers got let go around the same time as I did and I can't even get a fucking interview anymore.
Are you pre-pandemic me?
