Ask HN: How many positions should I apply for at the same company?

You’re going to have way better luck if you tap your network and bypass the generic “apply here” submission queue.

Beyond that, for most companies I’m familiar with are feeding your application into a system. Submitting for a ton of roles is likely not getting you anything different than submitting for one and then having the recruiter route you to the best fit.

Thanks. I just had lunch with an old coworker this week. It sounds like the market is tough right now -- lots of "open positions" but few are actually hiring.

"having the recruiter route you to the best fit" is kinda what I want, honestly. I guess I have to apply for enough positions to get to that stage.
