Tech hiring is no more broken than it’s been in my 30 years across 10 jobs - you’re doing it wrong.

If you are just spamming ATSs instead of using your network or reaching out to targeted companies, it’s always been a shit show

The first thing is that you have to have a specialized skillset. Web development, back end developer, mobile or even “cloud” by itself is not specialized. Then reach out to companies that are looking for those skills

There all sorts of path dependent specialties that people have that let them stand out.
