Data collected from Oct 6th, 2023, until today. All data collected by me.

Applied to 61 job offers on different sites (LinkedIn mostly, but also some minor Spanish job sites). All of them were for Django or Python backend developer (asking for Django, FastAPI or Flask), mostly mid/senior level, but some of them even were for junior level, just in case.

The last time I was looking for a job, I applied to SpaceX (this was before Musk went off the deep end) and I didn’t hear back. Then a year later I get an email telling me my application was denied…. after I’d been working for LinkedIn for ten months.

    When there's multiple people involved with hiring this happens all the time. When you get 100/1000s of applications many get stuck in some in-between status like contacting/shortlist when they should be denied. If you're used to ERP/CRM where there's no way to abandon a ticket unless you mark it resolved, LinkedIn and indeed feel pretty loose by comparison and it's easy to miss things like that.
