1/10. Constant mass layoffs, most subject matter experts have quit, the code is a legacy pile of bugs and where changing one line of code is incredibly painful. Also new college grads are making 20k+ higher than my current salary despite having 2 years of experience in the bay area. I've been trying to find a new job but I'm so exhausted and stressed out at the end of the day that I don't have the energy to grind leetcode/algorithms problems to prepare for technical interviews, and those whiteboarding/system design interviews are brutal.

Sorry to hear that! Couldn't agree more tech interviews are long and difficult and require lots of preparations. I had some that lasted 4 -6 hours, man that is long! I also find that you get to speak about the company and the role only at the very end, when you already spent a fair bit of yours and theirs time. Wish you best of luck in job hunt this year!
