It's not going great. I was made redundant a month ago. I've been in software almost 12 years and this is the first time I've been unemployed. I knew the search would be tough but I didn't think I'd still be looking a month later.
I've done a lot of phone screens, first interviews, and coding tests plus a few second rounds. I've gotten the whole range of responses: ghosted, received useful feedback, and feedback that makes me doubt the interviewers were paying attention at all.
I don't know if it's just the redundancy vs. deciding to search while employed or the general mood in the industry but it feels a lot tougher this time. I'm also the main breadwinner for an immigrant family in one of the most expensive cities in the world. I've got a bit of runway left but I hope I find something soon. Good luck to all of us!
