Nobody Is Telling You How Bad It Actually Is

18 months. 4,000 applications. 3 interviews. Zero job offers. And I have 20 years of professional web development experience.I'm not a junior developer struggling to break in. I'm a senior developer with two decades of real, documented, professional experience — and the tech job market has been completely invisible to me. This is what it actually looks like from the inside.In this video I break down the raw numbers, what the application process genuinely feels like at scale, how ATS systems are killing experienced candidates before a human ever sees their resume, why job postings are increasingly disconnected from reality, and what 18 months of rejection actually does to a person who built their entire identity around their craft.Nobody on LinkedIn is talking about this honestly. The tech companies aren't talking about this. So I will. If you're a developer — senior, mid-level, or just trying to break in — you need to hear this. Are you a developer dealing with this right now? Drop your numbers in the comments. Let's see how widespread this actually is. 🔔 Subscribe for honest, unfiltered takes on the tech industry and what's really happening to experienced developers. #techlayoffs #softwaredeveloper #webdevelopment #techjobs #developerlife #jobmarket2025 #unemployed #seniordeveloper #techIndustry #jobsearch #ATS #hiring #programminglife #codingcareer #javascript #frontenddeveloper #webdev #techindustry #H1Bvisa #outsourcing #jobhunt #careeradvice #softwareengineering #techrant #resume #jobrejection #developerproblems #coding #programmers #worklifebalance
