> Instead of finding an offer after 500 interviews, now you may have to do 400.
replyHoly cow, is that really how many interviews it takes to get hired these days?
It’s been about 10 years since I changed jobs, and then it took less than maybe 10 interviews.
> For me, getting a master's degree was more useful than getting a bachelor's.
I’m not sure this is the norm. I know very few people that I’ve worked with or have interviewed that have masters degrees. I’ve worked with + interviewed maybe close to 300 SWEs, and probably fewer than 5%, if that, have/had masters degrees.
I got an interview with the worst resume ever when covid hiring was ramping up. It ended up not working out. When the layoffs started shortly after, I submitted hundreds and got nothing.
replyI'd love an opportunity to contribute to open source. There have been some small contributions I've made to open source libraries that needed a fix, but nothing major. Come to think of it, I submitted a pull request to Tauri and should probably check if it's approved or not.
replyI'm always down for networking in person. I don't know how DMing works on here, but my Github username is the same as my handle on here.
