[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP continuing to track.

28 applications
11 rejections
4 interviews in progress
> 1 screening call (waiting to see if I get an interview out of this)
> 1 first round interview (scheduled, we'll see how it goes)
> 1 second round interview (scheduled, we'll see how it goes)
> 1 technical exercise (submitted, we'll see how it goes)

Starting to feel a bit more positive that I may get something out of this exercise.  Although I'm hitting the hard technical portions so there's still a good chance I'll wipe out on all of these I guess.  :-/  Hope everyone else on this thread got good responses in the last week, too![/quote]

OP back again with updates.
> 1 screening call (waiting to see if I get an interview out of this) -> got the first interview
> 1 first round interview (scheduled, we'll see how it goes) -> moved on to tech exercise
> 1 second round interview (scheduled, we'll see how it goes) -> they want references, which is encouraging but also daunting because it means I have to talk to my manager about the fact I'm job hunting (I know he'll give me a good reference but it's still scary)
> 1 technical exercise (submitted, we'll see how it goes) -> still waiting on this, which is sad because this is the job I want most

Hope everyone else is making progress too.  It's interesting that so far all my applications that got to the interview stage have been progressing.  I guess the resume screeners are good at guessing fit or I interview well.  :-P

OP back for Friday check-in lol

28 applications

5 interviews started
> 1 screening call -> first interview -> I removed myself from the process since as my gen z friends would say the vibes were bad
> 1 first round interview -> technical exercise (not as bad as I thought it would be so yay for that)
> 1 second round interview -> references being checked
> 1 technical exercise -> two subsequent interview scheduled; wish me luck!
> 1 first round interview (waiting to hear back if they want to move forward)

This week I'm looking at my spreadsheet of applications and thinking that I actually had a pretty good response rate.  Lots of nos of course, but I appreciate that most of them actually communicated their no to me, rather than just totally ghosting me.

Not quite Friday but it's been an eventful week.  Feeling vaguely ill about having to make decisions/commit but excited that things are moving.  I have no idea how people do this more often than like once a decade...

> 1 first round interview -> technical exercise -> second round interview -> tentative offer for a slightly different position than the one I applied for; I'm scheduling a call to get more details on it next week
> 1 second round interview -> references being checked (this delay is on me and I really need to hunt down one of those references)
> 1 technical exercise -> two subsequent interviews scheduled -> pretty sure I didn't do well enough on the technical interview which is a pity because this is the job I want most :-( but cross your fingers for me, I guess?
> 1 first round interview (waiting to hear back if they want to move forward; not optimistic at this point)
