No shade to any comrades here in that role. I’m just venting because 1) I hate my job and am officially “quiet quitting,” and 2) I’ve sent out over 120 job applications today and I’m fuckign tired.

120 job applications in a day is a lot, good job. i get burnt out just sending a couple
big same, i consider it a really productive day if i manage to send like 6. manifesting job offers for all of us
Thanks! I’ve been hitting Indeed and (mostly) Glassdoor. A lot of them have that ‘easy apply’ system, so I’ve just been searching on a few relative keywords and applying to basically everything posted in the last month. Got a list of another 10-15 for tomorrow that I’ll have to sit down and actually spend more than 2 seconds doing.
I think LinkedIn jobs is better for tech roles nowadays if you have the energy to start a new application stream
Don’t need to setup a profile, just make an account to search for the jobs and apply on their website
Thanks, I actually nuked my LinkedIn a few months ago by posting Stalin pics, so I’ll make a new one soon
The power of the
is can be very overwhelming.
I would advise against sending 120 applications on a single day, I would assume at least 20 will respond, and it will be hell managing 20 processes at once. However, given that you applied to everything your profile might not even fit correctly to more than half of them, so IDK.
I get that you did it out of frustration, and if it helped you feel better, more power to you, but if you want to do it more strategically, check each application individually and send 5ish applications a day. This is what I have done (actually, I usually send less than 3 per day) and I usually get phone calls in 3-4 days tops.
I’m assuming that by tech you mean software development, but I’m aware that not all SD sections are the same and my advice applies mostly for my experience as a Data Engineer in Spain, so if you feel it doesn’t fit, disregard it please.
