I worked for a large, prominent manufacturer for the past 6 years, writing react native code every day and architecting 2 apps through major growth and constant iteration. gesture based animations, complex forms, real time data, involved cacheing strategies etc. working with a high end team.
got laid off in December and spent the next 6 months applying for every fully remote react job I could find (I live in the sticks). ~60 applications, ~15 interviews, ~8 technical coding style interviews ... 0 offers.
what gives? is it because I can only do remote? (though these were jobs advertised as fully remote). Are these companies just flooded with people better than me?
I tend to fear its because I didn't do well enough on the gotcha-laden coding interviews - but I'm really good and sharp on the stuff they were trying to test!
finally got a job using a different/older stack but I want to try to gain insight into what is happening with this corner of the job market in 2023. hear what others are experiencing. is it just me??
