Looking for a Job Is Tough

Very impressive resume. Why only 30-40 applications? Are you looking for a relatively niche role? As someone who graduated into the great recession, "normal" to me still feels like 1000 applications is the bare minimum.

I thought so too, but even more rejections coming through today.

Looking for any intermediate /senior role in any stack.

I’m based in NZ so there’s barely any jobs

Same experience for me. Every job search breaks triple digits, easy.

Job searching mirrors my prior Tinder experience nowadays.

You gotta spam alot since 'everybody' else does it too. You'll just drown in others' applications otherwise.
