10 Month Progress Report
[6 Month Update] Buddy of mine COMPLETELY lied in his job search and he ended up getting tons of inter views and almost tripling his salary ($85k -> $230k)
Months ago, I rejected other offers to work for this company. They rescinded my offer a week before my start date. Can I still contact the old job offers?

10 Months of Experience about to be laid off
Interview Experience
I graduated last year and I've been working as a SW/DevOps engineer at a startup for the past 7 months. The startup missed a round of funding and it doesn't look good for my team. I'm expecting the worst so I've started applying to jobs again. I have around 10 months of experience (including an internship). Since the start of this month, I've sent out 150+ applications to junior level roles, but I'm getting less interviews and callbacks than my last job hunt cycle despite having a way better resume. The weird thing is that I feel like I see way more postings and reasonable job descriptions that match my skills and experience. Has anyone else experienced this recently? I kept thinking that I'll be okay once I got my foot through the door, but the goalpost keeps on moving and it makes me kinda worried. 2 years ago I thought I would be okay once I got an internship and last year I thought I would be okay once I got my first job. I hope this doesn't sound too ranty, I'm just a bit nervous lol.
