I’ve been applying to Java/software developer roles for the past 3 months and barely getting any callbacks from recruiters. Last year was completely different, I was getting a decent number of responses, but I stayed at my previous company because my H1B approval was still pending.
Now I have close to 5 years of experience (backend/full-stack, Java, Spring Boot, microservices, cloud, etc.) and the market just feels extremely rough. Even roles where I match most of the requirements seem to go nowhere.
Is anyone else in a similar situation right now, especially on H1B? Curious if this is just the current market or if I’m missing something in my approach.
