Finding a job is very bad. The first months I had only rejections, some didn't even mask that were made by AIs (one day I applied on a Friday night and got a rejection on Saturday morning).
When January started, I started to land the first interviews, some on FAANG companies. Even though I applied for jobs more related to infrastructure, they still required Leetcode-like interviews, which is odd. I failed some of them, but aced one that was more infrastructure related. However, even though I aced it and went pretty well, I still wasn't chosen for their opening (they probably had very limited openings).
I know there are lots of threads here asking "is the market bad right now", but I wanted to read your thoughts on the market right now, the impact of AIs in hiring (I dislike using AIs for mostly anything, I'm not sure if I'm on a disadvantage for having a resume written by myself or not) and if any of you have lost hope on continuing in tech.
