Your Friendly Green Fox

Wholesome, mostly, and to a lot of wild animals, I look the same as a Red Fox anyway because of their vision spectrum!

Tech job hunting sites
So you guys already know about Indeed and LinkedIn, it's what I use too, but there's this other site I found because of Reddit a while ago that is pretty nice. I mean, the same jobs can be found on LinkedIn, company pages of course, and the like, but it is still a pretty well designed and convenient website. It's called Otta.
This is in no way an ad, I'm not associated with them at all, I just sorta wanted to share another tool that is convenient enough that you can knock out a dozen more apps a day than you normally might. It has ratings for the company on each post, like for Glassdoor, and it has a mini-review from Otta about the company and what they do.

This is totally something you have to get used to, and it's saddening, because it's going to happen a lot unfortunately, and just don't give yourself the expectation that an interview is coming, because it's more of a lottery than anything, and for one person to succeed, everyone else has to lose.
I've been applying to a lot of software (and related) jobs since I graduated in 2020, and, I never knew how nearly impossible it would be without someone to slip me into a company, nor senior levels of experience right off the bat. I have ~3 years of experience right now and I still rarely get interviews, 2000+ applications in. That job market plummeted since COVID, and isn't getting better yet.
Keep your mood up though, because you never know when you will get lucky, and when you do, those "vacation planning" type fantasies you've been having about how your life is going to change will become a reality!
Also, after a while, you can usually tell with 99% accuracy which emails are rejections without even opening them, because they are all the same automated emails with the formal subject line. You'll know it's a legit follow-up when you see it's from an actual person, or is something about setting up a time for a meet/zoom.

Job rejections used to wreck me, but I've worked hard to not put my self-worth in other people's hands.
