ah well I was wondering if you could provide insight on the amount of applications vs actual decent applicants
you mentioned you’ve been on the side of the interviewer before
if I see a job post with 100 applicants, how many would you say are serious?
static quarry
linkedin premium shows you how you compare to other people based on skill match
swift falcon
yeah but that’s kind of baloney right?
static quarry
yeah kinda

since I could just go add every skill basically?

also does number of applicants just mean people that click the apply button?
how many never fill out the form?
swift falcon
not saying I don’t use it tho, if I see I’m in the top 10% I usually think like, ok I have 10 other ppl im competing with
I’m seeing a ton of 50-80% masters degrees though
which is kinda scary
oh and I guess when you go from screen -> in person -> technical how many ppl usually get cut each time?
like 50%?

Based on a colleague that works at LinkedIn

Also the application number counts everyone that clicked on apply, regardless of if they actually finished the application or not.

also does number of applicants just mean people that click the apply button?
yes
they have no way of tracking past that
timber rock
yeah and im pretty sure the application number doesnt reset when they repost a job
that's why you see people here saying wow 200 applications in 30 seconds
when it could be over weeks or months

is it possible to find out how well u do on a karat before redo invitation expires?
like would it be possible to get recruiter to say how well i did?
obsidian crater
Bootcamp is inferior to degrees in the eyes of recruiters
I'd say you'd probably get screened out if you have no degree in most cases
ornate cliff
Must reside in the U.S 
you're competing with a ton of uni degrees so it's gonna be tuff... maybe your projects + resume is godlike
and you have internships
where did you do bootcamp
you have a previous degree?
Fuck... its gonna be tough
You can apply to new grad it's worth a try
obsidian crater
The market is tough for people who have Master's and FAANG experience
It's gonna be rough

ok so a recruiter reviewed my resume and said they don't sponsor but they also mentioned if you have any questions do let them know.
so is it okay to ask like how did they find my resume , like the format , readability etc
basically asking for a resume review
i am confused if it could be the right thing to ask

At this point I'd get as much help as you can
Resume review, explain ur situation and ask if they know of any roles that sponsor

ya im keeping that in mind for my new job search
the problem with my last intern search was i added projects i DID build, but it was so long ago like 2-3 years back in high school. And i also added a bunch of bullet points from my first internship that i had to remember
this time though ive worked on fresh projects that I completely understand and ill have new bullets from a new internship so it'll be a lot easier

I am graduating in May 2023 with a masters in CS. I have interned since sophomore year of college but I only have 1 FAANG internship (summer 2022). I am an international student so I am trying to think if sitting in new grad 2024 is better than getting 2 work ex at a small place and then reapplying. This year led to nothing honestly. I did more than 250+ apps got 2 interviews and got rejected
