Are there any junior roles out there right now?
Sorry of this kind of post isn't allowed, but I figure it's the best place to ask this. I've got 3 years of experience doing GPU compiler work (specifically Torch-MLIR and IREE) and I got laid off at the end of 2024. Since then my life has been a cycle of applying for senior roles because they're all I can find, impressing technical interviewers, and getting rejected anyway because someone with 5 more years of experience showed up.
Am I not looking in the right places, or are junior roles in GPU compilers that few and far between right now? Does anyone have any advice for the current job market? I'm kind of at a loss for what I can do other than pivot out of compilers entirely. I don't think building projects would do much to add to my on-paper experience and I'm already doing well on technical interviews.
