Can't seem to filter/search by Role. Also a lot of dead/expired positions.
have to work on the dead positions, you are totally right.

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. 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 don't know anything about the specifics of your situation, so definitely discount this advice if it's not applicable - but remember that every high level / successful person had to be, at some point, wholly out of their depth in order to rise to the occasion!
My back is against the wall. I've applied to more companies than I can keep track of. I've exhausted my savings. Friends and family have already helped as much as they can. I'm days away from having some life changing situational events happen.
I've recently seen a small uptick in interviews, but over the last year almost nothing has moved past the initial call/zoom meeting.
I managed to pick up a single contract in September but that ended after a month (founder ran out of cash).
I've never seen the job market this bad in the last 15 years, and that's even including the 2007/8 financial crisis.
If anyone has any kind of role, no matter how junior, please contact me asap.
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. If you are really in need of a job I would study up on system design, behavioral interview patterns and a bit of leetcode-style programming problems. From my experience, employers are being very very picky. I have been through full rounds at a couple of places with positive feedback, but…
I've been interviewing a lot lately (naturally) and I've had a similar experience. I keep getting really good initial feedback on my resume, make it through several rounds of interviews with more good feedback, and then come out the other side with "We're reprioritizing our 2024 plans" or some version on that theme.

I'm my experience live technical assessments are mostly just luck, especially when interviewers are being overly opinionated about how things should be done. When you're a certain level of seniority anything in your code which isn't a mistake is typically a debatable decision. Formatting, naming, where and when to optimise, what patterns to use and avoid, etc... And there will always be things you miss, that's what code reviews are for at the end of the day.
Just keep looking and try to not let rejections get to you. It's a difficult market for software engineers and employers have all the power right now.
My guess is that in the new year things will pick up a little. We're seeing some positive news on the economic front right now and my guess is that there will be more a bit appetite for investors to start putting capital to work in tech again next year. It's probably not going back to what it was a few years ago, but I think there's a good chance the market will be noticeably less difficult.
