Edit: I am going to go out on a limb and say that if you're hiring I can make adjustments to make the timezone difference work.

Using an alt because I don't feel comfortable writing this under my real name.

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!

What are the new style interviews?

This is unnecessarily hostile and does not address the parent.

I sent in an application last month and did an initial interview. It was my understanding that I'd be scheduled for two more interviews, at least one of them technical. Maybe I misunderstood, but in any case no one ever got back to me to say they weren't moving forward with my application.

Looks great. Are remote positions available?

> ONSITE (with a few exceptions)

What are the exceptions?

Are there timezone restrictions on remote candidates?

Are you considering remote candidates? I'm in the UTC+8 timezone but have worked with Pacific PST/PDT clients.
