It’s getting near impossible to get hired in the computer science field. There have been tons of layoffs. I don’t expect this will make the situation any better.
I’ve been unemployed for almost a year and I have 15 years of experience. It’s getting insane, I spoke with a recruiter a couple months ago who told me that their office has 0 jobs right now.
What is your field, more precisely? Web? Embedded?
My experience is largely in bespoke web applications, specifically ones that require regulatory compliance with HIPAA and/or FERPA. I’m familiar with the full stack but I specialize in UI/UX and API development.
I haven't found that, found another job within a few weeks after starting to look. I am in a very small niche though (RISC-V verification).
I did also try looking for software jobs but didn't get anywhere. Tbf I only tried big companies or very popular ones (Discord, Jane Street, Zed, etc.) and my recent history isn't really software focused (or at least it doesn't seem like it). I reckon networking & going for smaller / less prestigious companies would help. They just don't pay very well.
