I'm hiring two senior SWE roles right now, after many many months alternatively cajoling and threatening various VPs in my org. They kinda admitted at the start of the year we were due some headcount after some other engineers left last year... But I digress.

Today alone I spent three hours going through resumes generated mostly by ChatGPT to find anyone with even sufficient experience to make it to interview. I spent maybe a minute on each resume at most, checking experience, qualifications and then tech stack familiarity, and I'm getting maybe one in twenty with something than might hint at a sufficient level.

In today's job market, at least in my corner of it, if you've got the experience and qualifications you're going to stand out. If you're coming out of college soon with a few internships then best of luck.
