What are the actual numbers? Like, how many resumes have you sent out, and how many return calls have you gotten? And that of your friends?
A big fact about the field is that a large number of companies aren't in a place where they can hire new graduates or junior programmers. I have a suspicion that most of the difference in number of responses is that your friends are simply hustling harder and sending out more applications than you are.
