That heavily depends on your situation: if you have an unusual setup (say non-US remote senior looking in the US), the numbers go down quite significantly. I currently just got 1 interview out of 600+ applications (counting Easy Applies and such on LinkedIn).


Okay. I understand the difficulty now. I'm very sorry, but that's a clear indication that your skill set (or value prop) is not in demand (i.e. the market is saturated).

Add skills to your offerings. Change career paths.

Start by looking at what people are hiring for and who is making money. You can find statistics from tax agencies, government labor departments, etc.

Good luck.


Thanks!

From the various feedback I got, it seems that while remote US is rather common nowadays, remote non-US (by a US company) it's really not. And having worked for a US company in the past few years, it's really hard to change after that.
