I spent 2 years looking for a tech job, with 10 years experience in the roles I was shooting for. Its fucking ROUGH out there. Luckily I started working for a nonprofit via Americorps right now, but if there's any people who want to apply to software companies, hit me up and I can share some sites that aren't on the beaten path that got me some interviews.

It fucking sucks, and im underemployed now but im in the "at least its something" camp, plus its good work so hopefully this next year let's me career pivot into homelessness work

same.. im about 1 year in and though i've had a few interviews, they've all been real WTF moments.. 4 years ago all i had to do was think about looking for a job and i'd have 3 offers lined up.. now i get the first interview, the guy can't find my resume, doesn't listen to a word I say, doesn't know anything about the job he's interviewing me for, and then i get the rejection afterward. this is the craziest shit
