I’ve been looking for a job (senior software engineer) for almost 3 months now. Today I got technical feedback on an assessment (making a gRPC server in Rust) where the interviewer said I should have changed the Protobuf types in the specification they gave me for the assessment because “int64 isn’t the best way to represent this data”.
So how’s the job search going for you?
I actually received 2 offers today, the first two in like a month. One is not for me, and I don't think I'm ready for the other one. I'm having a big imposter syndrome lately. I guess I need some time to learn more stuff and collect my thoughts.
I hope you guys make it, because if you can't, that means I definitely can't.
From my experience, employers are being very very picky. I have been through full rounds at a couple of places with positive feedback, but they have all gone with other candidates. It seems like if you misstep once during a single interview round, your chances fall dramatically.
Full transparency: I have not put in a lot of time preparing for these interviews, probably explains a lot xD
Try using TJ Alerts[0]. Created it specifically for this use case. It's free. Has a bunch of cool filters and sorts (+ semantic search). Would love to hear your opinion. Will try to make it paid soon. [0]: https://gettjalerts.com
It's below average. I am not really hard-pressed to make a job change, but I have been interviewing a bit over the past few months.

It's grim seeing seniors struggling to get jobs. As a junior, I'm eagerly awaiting my cue to start applying again. That is, once the deluge of threads about struggling seniors abates, which has been happening for quite a while and doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. I hope you guys make it, because if you can't, that means I definitely can't.

Not as good as it used to be. I'm a backend developer with around 8 years of experience. I actually received 2 offers today, the first two in like a month.
