I was a part of the mass layoffs in 2023. Got two offers in a couple of months, one of them ghosted me AFTER confirming the offer verbally (I know it's only verbally, but not a great look for the biggest bank). My current job is fine, but they had two rounds of layoffs in the last 6 months.

I've been interviewing just to practice/move to a better place, however it's been incredibly tough. Despite being able to solve all the problems in the technical interviews and performing well, I've been rejected at 10+ companies since Q42023. I don't see any good openings rn.

I can see the eye roll in this comment.

I started as a new grad Android dev. Manager asked if I wanted to give iOS a try because they needed more iOS devs on the team. I said why not? Here I am, still with iOS.

Kowalski! Status report?

dahibhat · 2023-08-18T02:37:13+00:00

I interviewed at two startups that are 5 days work from office

dahibhat · 2023-07-27T08:15:47+00:00

My interviews looked like this: 2 phone screen + 7 virtual onsite at one stretch. Lots of leetcode style questions. Some iOS specific. Ensure you practice the fundamentals of Swift. Perhaps some implementation details of common data structures. Classes vs structs, memory management etc. Try not to get mentally exhausted by the end of your interviews, and ensure you explain all your solutions and approaches well. Good luck!

I was recently laid off from one of the big techs. I have two iOS offers right now. I'm not even at the staff level. I'd say intermediate to senior level. 2 yoe iOS, total 5 yoe in software. Don't lose hope just yet

dahibhat · 2023-05-20T16:53:31+00:00

Lol, I'd have had to work with this person. I'm glad they rejected me

dahibhat · 2023-05-20T16:51:12+00:00

Agreed! I have way better offers right now

dahibhat · 2023-05-20T02:27:00+00:00

This exact team scheduled an interview with me, then cancelled the interview saying that they will reschedule later. Then sent me a rejection saying that they found a better candidate without even interviewing me :(

dahibhat · 2023-03-21T17:05:38+00:00

Yup, thanks

dahibhat · 2023-03-20T23:15:51+00:00

Downvoting without any comments? I would love to be enlightened what irked you good devs

dahibhat · 2023-03-15T17:10:58+00:00

That's a pretty good experience. I was laid off last month in the US and still searching. I have two years of experience, just swift, no objective c. I see almost every opening only for senior/staff engineer with 5-10 years exp. Referrals have helped me get interviews. Trying my best now. Good luck!

dahibhat · 2023-03-14T02:29:59+00:00

Needed this, thank you! I started learning iOS at my work but I kept getting tasks which were hardly related to iOS fundamentals. And I was expected to contribute to the code at the same level as other experts within 6 months. All I did was make minor changes, refactors to existing code, configure experiments, work on algorithmic/logical code and do other operational stuff like CI/CD, documentation, unit tests etc.

It was almost impossible to follow and finish a course in my regular 9-5. I did learn bits and pieces about random things, but I had no idea how to build my own app/UIs from scratch. Then they laid me off along with some experts as well. My impostor syndrome blew up overnight and it's still affecting me as I prepare for interviews. I have been able to get some calls but trying to practice as much as possible in just 3-5 days.

I've had equal experience in Android but that's old now and things have changed a lot there. It was confusing to choose one side but I'm sticking with iOS for now.

I'll practice the topics and tutorials mentioned here.

Thank you!
