I’ve been looking for 8 months… I’ve applied for over 100 positions and had one first round interview.

There is definitely trouble in the CS job market right now. I spoke to a recruiter who had no new jobs on their desk in two months.

If you’re in engineering, be an ml engineer or live in a hub is what it is

Curious, what level are you and what specialty?

I have a degree and 15 years experience in web development. The last 6 have seen me move up a bit to doing more full stack and team lead things. I specialize in front-end UI/UX and API middleware.

Yea that's surprising. I've been approached by about 3 companies a week but haven't followed up so much so maybe it's just more bullshit listings out there. Hope you find something!

You're the first I've heard say that in a long time.

In the rest of the world, even the West, the picture is more dire. Americans tend to avoid hiring non-Americans, and had early mover advantage on computers and the internet.
