Data collected from Oct 6th, 2023, until today. All data collected by me.

Applied to 61 job offers on different sites (LinkedIn mostly, but also some minor Spanish job sites). All of them were for Django or Python backend developer (asking for Django, FastAPI or Flask), mostly mid/senior level, but some of them even were for junior level, just in case.

Already explained, I made this with SankeyMATIC and made a missed the count. 9 1st Interviews, not 10.

49+3+9 is 61 :D

Look on news.ycombinator.com “who is hiring” thread posted on 1st weekday of each month. Lots of senior backend jobs there, many remote.

In the end I found something which I really like. But the search was painful, due to the bug amount of no responses. Not even a call to ask me about my background, or an email saying they’re going to move forward with other candidate…

That’s what I was thinking… I’m over that amount already and I have one interview so far. Though to be fair I’m applying to co-ops which I guess might be more competitive?

1 offer. Rejected by interviewee because company didnt give any salary benefits info until the very end.

You gotta make it a point to ask what the pay range is in the first interview or you’re wasting your own time. If they won’t tell you, the job isn’t worth your time anyway.

At one time the HR gave me the numbers but at the end of the process they told me there was a mistake (or it wasn’t the fixed salary but include benefits that you are not sure to get). Happened twice

This has been my experience. They just lie and string you along.
