Of those 100 interviews I'd estimate:

- ~70% never go past the recruiter screen

- ~20% rejection after the technical screen (i.e., leetcoding)

- ~10% after a full round of interviews

Presumably I do or say something in interviews that is working against me. I also think that my background gives people the expectation that I should be able to reach a very high bar, and perhaps I set their expectations much higher than I can actually achieve (at least in interviews). Given my real-life interactions, I can confidently say I'm a fairly gregarious and affable person, so I doubt it's my personality that's the issue. But who knows, perhaps my ego is the problem.

I get the impression from a quick skim of your resume that you are all in on Rust.

Do you mainly apply to rust jobs? I feel like I read something here recently with others really struggling to get Rust jobs.

I'm a bit confused - where did the OP post their résumé?
They must have edited it out.
