Is this really true? I can’t believe it. https://www.hindustantimes.com/trending/us/exgoogle-contractor-says-indians-hire-indians-in-silicon-valley-there-s-a-network-101778646125511-amp.html

Does anyone feel like tailoring resumes for every single tech application takes way too much time compared to the number of responses you actually get? I understand why customization matters but sometimes I spend an hour adjusting keywords just to get rejected automatically anyway. How detailed are you making your applications these days? Would love to know if anyone found a strategy that consistently led to interviews instead of silence.

Have you ever noticed how things only get attention when they break, not when they work perfectly? I have seen how QA quietly sits behind the scenes, catching issues before they ever reach users. Most of the time, success in QA means nothing happens, no crashes, no complaints, no noise. If everything works smoothly, does anyone remember the person who made sure it did?

What is the deal with these Indian recruiters who are based in India sending a flood of contract positions for ridiculously low market rate of 60-70 dollars an hour? Is it because of H1b tightening that they are not able to import people and now trying to lure Americans? How do they even find these jobs and why companies even hire these people to fill their open positions? No one sane is going to work with these people.

Has anyone here gotten hired recently after a long employment gap? I’ve been out of work longer than expected and I’m starting to worry recruiters see the gap and immediately move on. I still feel confident in my skills but explaining unemployment over and over in interviews is getting exhausting.
