...if you flip burgers or change sheets in a hotel, sure. Maybe read about people finding engineering positions, understand that section of the job market and realize how out of touch you are.
Agreed (assuming we’re talking about the US here). I’m not a rockstar dev but I have a lot of years of solid experience. I applied to 60+ programming jobs over the last four months without getting even a single technical interview. Every previous job search I’ve done over the last 20 years went much better so I don’t think it’s (mostly) me.
