We all are in this together, let’s clutch. I am sure there is someone dumb enough to hire us

#

If anyone’s struggling landing interviews I advise using apollo.io and just spamming emails to recruiters

#

It’s not free anymore but it’s worth it imo

lapis sapphire
#

it's $49 a month 💀

frozen spire
#

100 per month it runs out quick

#

I sent out 2k emails it got me like 6-7 interviews

#

but you can spam u don’t send individual emails

lol you sent a 2k email. I used to send cold emails, but no response, so I gave up. I also found that our email will be in spame which easily be skipped

These are my stats, it's actually 3k not 2k which might seem a lot but it's over 4-5 months period and if you send out 50-100 ish emails on week days it's not a lot of work. It took me half an hour per day to do this.

#

I personally landed 7 interviews like this so imo it's worth taking some time out of your day to do it if your really struggling with getting interviews

pseudo musk
#

cool, can i DM you to ask the email format

dire estuary
#

I landed all of my interviews like this

#

feeling like referrals don’t even work anymore

maybe you overestimated your coding skills and need more practice?

#

or you just trolling

dire estuary
sand sphinx
#

number doesn’t mean anything lmao

#

you def need more & better practice if you did 800 and think number is everything in lc

dire estuary
#

it’s not skills issue I can gurantee you 🤷‍♂️

sand sphinx
#

👍

#

if you have offers then fine but if not, thinking is not going to help you buddy

#

but yeah if you really arent trolling, failing 12 interviews (unless you have other multiple offers) does mean that you are overestimating what you are doing or have a poor way of doing it. Unless all those companies were just some random ones.

dire estuary
#

you might be right who knows

dire estuary
#

bro don’t use apollo for sending emails, make a list, add emails, export the csv and use nodemailer

There’s definitely a huge luck factor but if ur persistent with it u’ll get lucky at some point.

The amount on unique interviews I had to take this season was insane. I feel like companies are moving away from lc interviews, I have easily had 20+ coding rounds and only 3 have been lc. Apart from it being unpredictable there’s lot more factors, I have felt extremely good about my performance and still have been rejected out of nowhere

dire estuary
#

Believe it or not luck is heavily involved

sand sphinx
#

can always improve somewhere 🙂

dire estuary
# sand sphinx yeah but when you are preparing, you dont say I failed due to bad luck (atleast ...

that’s the thing I can’t justify my rejections no more, not that I don’t have any offer I do but it’s only natural to think it’s a skill issue, but it’s not. I know there’s always room for improvement and I’m practicing everyday and eventually get there. I’m not saying that I’m coding god and I didn’t make mistakes in my previous interviews but yeah those mistakes were not that significant for rejections. So yeah I might’ve fucked up somewhere but it’s not skill issue fs

no worries bro, you’re def right in your place it’s natural to think it can’t be luck 12 times but I’ve seen people getting FAANG offers who doesn’t even know how to write a basic React Component so the system is rigged

#

but yeah who knows I’ll eventually make it, until then practice 🙏

or ever gotten feedback

#

I just suck at interviewing and explaining, sometimes I just struggle with coming up with a solution. It doesnt click and I just freeze and I have no idea whta to do in the interview then

dire estuary
#

I’m already working and had some offers but was just saying that luck is a part of process

#

why even bother the 2025 cycle is done and no company is hiring that I havent interviewed with already

#

just gonna accumulate the cc debt and go to jail so I get 3 meals a day atleast

lapis sapphire
dire estuary
#

yeah will do some mocks there for next interview

#

I’ve heard about that and hello interview for sys design

lapis sapphire
#

Or try one there, like prepare like you'd for an actual one and try it there, get some feedback from the faang interviewers and improve
Profit 📈📈📈
