Its tough out there. I have a degree from Cambridge, 10 years of (quant) experience at hedge funds and banks and im still getting rejected too. I will only say 12 applications isnt that much these days, keep persevering and you will hit your stride soon enough. Good luck.

Yeah, as an interviewer at a large tech company, it’s not uncommon to get 300+ applications for a role (if it’s remote OK and we don’t set many pre-filters), do a dozen phone screens, and 4 interview loops to fill a single position.

In the relatively awesome market in 2021 I did 70+ applications, 10+ screens, 4 loops, and ended up with 2 offers. And that was all as an internal transfer, with tends to be a little easier.

Do you have a resume?

Depends whos asking (actually of course I do), my email is on my profile.
