The last time I switched jobs was in October of 2020, so I haven’t experienced this personally, but I have a lot of friends in the same boat.

Lots of said friends were affected by layoffs at various tech companies over the last couple years, but I also have some junior dev friends that are finding it basically impossible to even get callbacks. Everyone seems to only want senior devs at the moment.

I'm a senior dev and I'm also finding it hard to get callbacks. I've come to the conclusion that cold applying to positions is no longer viable. You won't even get a callback if you don't have a referral.
