I've struggled to find a Software Engineer job for many months, even with FAANG on my resume. It's nowhere as easy as it was when I graduated college 7 years ago.
I send out my resume and barely get any answers. I don't even get a chance to interview.
That being said, I had a good luck streak in December! I'm waiting to hear back from several companies right now.
Same -- FAANG, Dropbox, quant hedge fund on my resume, ~10 years of experience, senior engineer. I don't actually want a new job, to be fair, but I prefer to interview at least a couple times a year to keep skills sharp and get a good idea of my value in the market. Right now, my value appears to be approximately nil. It's wild.
The market has been unnaturally juiced by low interest rates for the last decade or so. It should get better but won’t ever get back to what it was for a long time.
