I'm at a large tech company. We are hiring, and I feel the bar is much higher this year. From my perspective, it feels like a lot of really well qualified people are applying, and that has made the interview panels more picky and slow. I feel that in the past we were very quick to decide and extend offers to people who are likely to do well in the role. But that urgency feels gone, and there's a larger pool of candidates, so the panel is much more likely to pass or ask the candidate to wait while they interview more people.
2+ years of experience full stack web dev here. It has been hell. The entry level for IT is so saturated that I think they don't even bother checking resumes anymore. It sucks.
Netherlands. It's awful. The American "copy your resume in tiny fragments into our web form" has arrived here and I hate it
Better than AI immediately discarding your resume for not hitting keyword density set by uninformed HR drones.
The job market for IT specialists is the whole world, isn't it? Stacks are globally the same, and English is the common language in IT.
THREADNECRO. In my experience, middle managers and direct managers prefer employees they can keep an eye on, so "global" employees are difficult for them -- and they're closer to the hiring than the higher ups who only want to reduce costs.
10+ YoE here.
Companies' hiring processes have become very slow. I applied and got interviews with 4 companies. I only got offers from 2 of them because the others were so slow. Meta was the slowest, 6 months to first interview.
That said, the offers were $800k/yr and $500k/yr total comp so I can't complain. The catch was mandatory in-office in downtown SF. I'd have to move. It was a hard decision if I'm being honest.
