You’re doing it wrong. 1 interview means you need to spend more time personalizing yourself to the applications. Start cold messaging people on LinkedIn at the company who went to your alma matter, spam blind, whatever it takes to get a connect at the company.

The market for mid-level and up is fine.

As someone who's pretty good at the interview games and have been trying to help some fresh grads and laid off juniors get hired. It is rough right now.

Are teams waiting to see if ChatGPT4 can pick up the slack instead of initiating a new job opening?

It really is. I do often reach out and try networking on LinkedIn with no luck. I have connections to quite a few companies I'd love to work for, and no its not FANG, who recommend me often whenever a position pops up, but still no luck.
