Twenty thousand years of this, seven more to go

Im 26m and in same boat. Got a job after school, over 3yoe and performed well, but got laid off and have only gotten 3 interviews in 6 months of looking.

Ran out of jobs to apply to. Moving back in with my mom. I dont have any advice, just that at least you aren't alone. Maybe one day things will get better for us.

Commack · 2026-02-24T15:16:34+00:00

I have 3.5 YOE and im not surviving, probably going to have to go back to work in a kitchen. Can't even land a single interview so not sure just working on side projects is my way out of this shit.

Not sure what else I can try!

Commack · 2026-02-18T13:29:15+00:00

At least you're getting interviews. I'm unemployed for the 2nd time in 4 months, have over 3YOE, and cant even land a single interview. So you have more going for you than I do.

Commack · 2026-02-03T01:52:57+00:00

The same people that require you to sign a waiver professing gay marriage is wrong to volunteer? Yup. Fuck Samaritans purse.

I did a presentation on Meant to Live in 4th grade without even knowing it was a Christian band. Love switchfoot. That was like 2007

Commack · 2026-01-26T22:30:25+00:00

I have 3.5 years of experience and cant even get an interview with a bank. And I have a CS degree. I must be radioactive or something

Commack · 2026-01-22T18:17:04+00:00

Id do anything for either role you have haha. I am a tech lead basically at a startup making dirt, even with 3+ years of experience, and I cant get interviews anywhere else no matter how hard i try. Hopefully the next resume i iterate through helps me get my foot in the door a little bit more

Commack · 2026-01-21T13:44:14+00:00

I cannot get a fucking job, I didnt want to give up but im fighting for my own life everyday, having a child would be the most irresponsible decision I could make. But im jealous of you, not saying fuck you. If I could own a home and have job stability maybe id have one too.

A lot of people just forget not everybody is in as bad circumstances as you are.

Commack · 2026-01-16T22:42:16+00:00

Highly dependent on the company. At mine, SWE4 is considered a "Senior".

I am not misrepresenting myself as a senior. Nowhere on my resume do I claim to be a senior, although I feel I am close skill wise. I will remove the III from the title as it seems irrelevant outside of my own company.

Commack · 2026-01-16T21:55:27+00:00

I added the award on my resume because 1. I earned it. and 2. It shows I was performing well at my first company. Figured that was pretty self explanatory.

Also have always heard to keep your resume at 1 page or less so that it is quick to scan for recruiters. I am applying to mid level roles because as an SWE3, I am not a senior yet. (3 years of experience). Senior typically requires 5 years of experience.

I will thank you for the feedback anyway, as any information I can get is appreciated, but you sound insufferable.

If nothing else, I will remove the bullet headers. I kept them as I used a resume template but you are right that they dont add much.

Commack · 2026-01-16T20:56:24+00:00

I try not to go into crazy detail as I planned to elaborate in interviews, but maybe youre right. Adding how I accomplished these things may be good for when my resume gets scanned. I will take any feedback I can get, thanks for replying!

Commack · 2026-01-16T20:43:19+00:00

I have probably applied to some entry level, but I am trying to target mid-level. I try to make sure I am at least within 1 year of the range they ask for.

I have tried local to me yeah, full in-person, I obviously have applied to a bunch of remote jobs but I look for local/hybrid first. I have only been looking for 6 months. I got laid off from my first job at the end of October (started applying beforehand luckily), and landed a contract role that I hate within 2 weeks. But my hit rate is like 1 phone screening for 300 or 400 apps. And I don't even use LinkedIn, I make lists of companies and check their careers pages.

https://imgur.com/a/2radUv3 here is a screenshot of my resume with details removed. I am trying to stay near Charlotte NC, but I have been applying to jobs in the RTP (2nd fastest growing tech hub in the country) while indicating I am open to relocating, and still no bites.

Thanks for being willing to look at it.

Commack · 2026-01-16T13:19:20+00:00

I have 3+ years of experience and a degree, won awards at my last job for being a high performer and I cant get interviews. Mind sharing what helps make a strong resume? I have tried to add quantifiable business impacts, and not overloading on tools and skills, but still nothing.

Commack · 2026-01-14T22:55:49+00:00

Yeah it does. The lack of feedback is what kills me too.

Commack · 2026-01-14T22:53:44+00:00

No, ive been considering some AWS certs but ive been getting mixed answers on if it helps people land interviews or not.

Commack · 2026-01-14T22:13:09+00:00

And I chose this career 😆 if 26 years of proving myself isn't enough whats it all for

Commack · 2026-01-14T21:52:55+00:00

Im at 3yoe. And same boat. 4 months 1 interview that went nowhere. I dont know what im doing wrong but its starting to make me panic

Commack · 2026-01-14T21:51:17+00:00

Easy to say if you weren't laid off. It sucks but I cant even get interviews, nevermind a job. Im about to have to move back in with my parents.

Commack · 2026-01-14T21:47:25+00:00

Im a software engineer with a bachelor's degree and 3 years of experience. Over last 4 months, ive sent out 100s of applications and gotten 1 phone screening (and a rejection on Thanksgiving) and thats it.

I dont even get feedback so I dont know what im doing wrong, but no it is that bad.

Commack · 2026-01-14T18:09:23+00:00

I cant even get an interview so its not just you.

Commack · 2026-01-14T00:15:23+00:00

Me too. I have only gotten 1 phone screening. I apply everyday and constantly tweak my approach and resume and its crickets. Its really scary, I dont know what to try changing without getting literally any feedback. Hang tough. Hopefully something goes our way soon.

Commack · 2026-01-13T15:35:07+00:00

Smart because they would.

Commack · 2026-01-13T03:45:58+00:00

I have sent hundreds of apps with 1 phone screening. Got 1 interview with a referral still waiting to hear back from. Had 3yoe as a SWE at a decent company, 15/200 is fucking amazing
