The Story

I've sent out 500+ applications and gotten 3 interviews, 0 offers. For the longest time I thought something was wrong with me.

Then I started talking to people and realized... wait, is everyone going through this?

So I made a quick anonymous survey to actually figure out what's normal. How many applications are people really sending? What are response rates looking like? When are people actually getting offers?

Methodology

• 100% anonymous responses via Google Forms
• Data collected from software engineering job seekers
• Filters available: major, school tier, sponsorship status, location, experience level
• Updated in real-time as new responses come in
• All data is public and transparent

Privacy

This survey is completely anonymous. We don't collect names, emails, or any personally identifiable information.

The goal is to help everyone understand what's normal in today's brutal job market - not to identify individuals.
