a lot of people i know are job hugging right now since the market is so intense. it feels like it's a rat race where everyone is competing for the same opportunities. am i going crazy? or are other people seeing this too..?

Communication matters more than polished diagrams right now. I have been helping a few people prep and there is a clear pattern in what interviewers reward.

I am seeing better response rates from alumni and former teammates than from fresh applications. Curious how people are making the ask without turning every conversation into a transaction.

I keep hearing different answers from HR and former teammates. Comparing notes on base pay, RSU handling, and the clauses people almost miss.

I expected pure panic. Instead it feels like panic plus freedom plus no idea what day it is. Curious how others are handling the first month.

Coffee, laptops optional, zero pitch energy. DM if you want the location details once we lock the spot.

Not just job search. I mean sleep, paperwork, networking, family conversations, and the point where you decide whether to optimize for recovery, income, or rebuilding something new.
