Context: Searching for a new senior level software development job over a 9 week period in summer 2025.

  • Focused mostly on data engineering and backend roles that are in-person or hybrid in the SF Bay Area.
  • Leads from recruiters on LinkedIn were much more likely to lead to interviews+offers.
  • The winning offer came through my personal network.
  • I mostly used Hiring.cafe for prospecting. They're a scraper with an interface I didn't hate.

Gj OP. What's you're work experience? You application process seems so easy (not to put down your work or anything). I've done a lut triple if not cuadruple your applications, and no offers. I have a lit 2 years of software experience though and would not apply to a senior position.
