not a bad ratio. get back to me when you've applied for 1000 jobs and have only interviews at 5: 20 yrs experience as software entgineer. wurlked at msft, goog and faceboob. PHD Comp Sci.

nobody wants a guy in his mid 40s.

job market is brutal

If you don’t have LinkedIn then make one. Then look for people with the job titles you want at the companies you want to work for and connect with them on LinkedIn. After they accept your connection requests chat them up, ask them how they like their job, how they got it, and ask for advice on how to make yourself more competitive of a candidate. Build rapport with these people and a lot of them will agree to give you a referral. Also ask who the person in charge of hiring for that position is (the actual manager not a recruiter) and introduce yourself. This will take you 10,000x farther than simply applying. Straight up applying by itself only works for minimum wage jobs.

unironically really good advice I'm not OP but am about to start the search after nearly 20 years at the same company I am butting heads way too much with certain big wigs and sense they literally want me to quit before I get canned entirely with no choice. I'm on LinkedIn but never thought about direct approach like that.

I'm sorry, OP. Prolonged unemployment is soul crushing.
But on the plus side, posts like this are a signal that the bottom is still ahead for crypto.

I am in my second job in my field (8 years into career) and both times I sent out one resume to one company and was hired by that company immediately. I switched jobs because I moved to a new city. Im an arborist though. Must be tougher if you type for a living I guess...
