Interview Experience
I luckily got a job, but have been trying to get out for 1.5 years...market is literal death. I am assessing candidates and built a team of good devs where I'm at. Upper leadership is meh and want to leave due to it. Lots of politics. I'm getting severely underpaid and under-leveled...but what choice I got. Just imagine being junior like title, but doing the job of a senior, tech lead, engineering manager, and borderline director... But even with me employed, I can barely get an interview after all these years. I'm pretty sure I have been rejected multiple times by the same companies. There are no companies left for me to apply to... Resume optimized. The resumes that reach my desk all look like mine LOL. I would be homeless if I loss my job. So I am building my startup (which is historically considered risky) as a backup plan. But seems safe now than to get traditional 9-5 job. With AI I can pretty much 50x productivity though. Have no other choice but to build a successful startup. Even if I got an interview, have to go through 5+ rounds of interviews....so I consider it not possible at this point. 6 months of savings...more like 4+ years of savings to survive in this market. I don't think the job market will recover tbh. AI is truly incredible for those that actually are experienced and know how to leverage it...simply don't need all these bodies for software engineer anymore.
