Ask HN: How Bad Is the Current Market? Pt3
5 by 71a54xd | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I'm an eng with three years of backend experience (1yr faang, 2.5yrs growth stage startup) and one year being a technical product manager / product eng. Startup I was working for laid off 75% of the eng team and half the product team (including me, since I had the least exp and was the most recent addition). Been about six weeks, around 40 applications that only converted to three interviews. Fortunately I have savings, but insurance is expensive and the outlook doesn't seem good. Anyone else struggling without a solid "senior" track record / solid resume? Consulting for a friend's startup to keep the lights on, but future seems pretty bleak especially with GPT4.
