I know this Market is insane, but two weeks ago, when I first reentered the job market, I was able to secure 4 interviews, these past 2 weeks I have zero. I'm grateful for the 4, even though none of them yielded a job, but it was nice to have some movement once I re-joined the job market. Has it been even slower for anyone else these past 2 weeks? Hoping the best for all of us.

What would you do in the days immediately following a lay off? Take time to decompress or get back out there immediately? I hear the market is tough but I’m burnt out.

Four rounds of interviews over two weeks with nothing but excellent post-interview feedback and got rejected out of nowhere with no actual feedback. This is the farthest I've gotten in 6 months of looking to get out of my current dead end only to be shot down just because reasons after being told everything went great. What a kick in the junk.

For people currently job hunting in tech, are you still writing cover letters for every application? I can’t tell if recruiters even read them anymore. Part of me feels like I’m wasting hours customizing documents when most applications probably get filtered by ATS systems before a human even sees them.

I keep hearing that networking is the key to finding tech jobs but I genuinely don’t know how people do it naturally without feeling fake. Are people mostly meeting through online communities now or are in person tech events still worth attending?
