If you’ve been keeping up with the job market, then you’ve probably seen stories about single roles receiving hundreds if not thousands of applications within a few days, leaving hiring managers overwhelmed.
It’s rough out there - I just sorted through over 500 applications looking for a DE role.
Great article Ben! One small addition from me. I love to see candidates stop and think. I like to see them breakdown problem, ask clarifying questions, make a rough sketch and then try to solve the problem. It’s tempting to jump in and solve a problem right away in a technical interview - but that ability to stop and plan really makes a candidate stand out in my opinion.
