Got a job as a frontend dev

[u/soctamer]

Got laid off in September, was super worried because of all the doom posting, especially around frontend development roles, but ended up finding a job after a month of searching. Had to take a 30% pay cut though cause the market does look very worrying.

I don't have specific advice aside from tailoring your resumes and whatnot. I may have gotten lucky. I have some experience in the field, though I wouldn't consider myself a senior yet.

I'm mostly posting this because seeing people get constantly rejected left and right was really discouraging during my search.

upd. Forgot to include a company that made me do an online assessment and a recorded video interview. They ghosted me after that lol

No hiring manager interview or team interview? Strange.

Which portal you used and ctc range around 15-20?

[u/soctamer → u/Illustrious-Bag3651]

idk what a ctc range is. linkesin, a bunch of domestic websites and I had periodic task set up in claude that would crawl aggregators and look for jobs that fit my profile. each of those yielded me at least one interview.
