last 4 FED my company hired are ex-sales/ex-whatever bootcampers (yes my company is cheap).
remote working is the final nail.
still few good FED jobs but you have 10,000s expert leetcoders fired by faang to compete.
Remember the FAANG layoffs were huge. You are competing against those folks (you may also be one of those). https://fi.money/blog/posts/faang-company-layoffs-what-cause...
Being in a major corporation sometimes can play against you: - I see a couple of corporations on your resume, do you have experience working in a startup environment? - ... If you have Blind app access, try to search for "I really thought after Google, I should be employable" post
TC 0. how's that.

Most companies can barely stay solvent let alone engineer a conspiracy. I admit there was wage collusion in the past but I reckon that is as coordinated as it gets. We need a new boom of startups figuring how to do useful stuff with computers without resorting to overhiring on success.
I've had similar issues - so much so that I've created Resgen[0] just because it was tough getting call backs. It turns out I really needed to tailor my resume to each job and it resulted in a lot more call backs. [0] https://resgen.app
Wow, that design is modern but brings me back to the days of application skin sites and early digital art communities back in the early 00s. Great job. I'm going to sign up.
These could be managers, people on your team, people on OTHER teams, vendors, salespeople you've spoken to, anyone.
Ideally, you should ALWAYS keep in contact with people you've worked with, even if it's just emailing them "Happy Birthday!" every year for the rest of your life, but the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, the second best time to do it is now.
A warm referral is the best way to get a job. It's tough doing cold outreach. Good luck!!!
Except the very first in person interview I did resulted in a job offer, just like in the beforetimes.
But it is hybrid, but I also wasnt opposed to that in the whole job search.
Try applying with a different name, maybe there's some discrimination factor at play as well
That is in contrast with a few years ago where a man changed his resume to be of a black lesbian and started getting calls.
