Yeah. This is what I've been told. The issue is that getting your resume into the hands of a hiring manager feels increasingly difficult.


The past year or so has probably been the worst market for developers since 2008. It's been picking up again, or at least it was for a bit.

If you haven't yet, one thing that would be worth doing is working with a recruiter. There's plenty of bad ones out there, of course, but a good one will have direct access to the people hiring. If you're willing to work on-site, even better, as that will significantly reduce the number of people you're competing against for attention.

I hope you find some of this useful, and either way, I wish you luck!
