It’s a dark time to be a tech worker right now::Nearly 300,000 tech employees have been laid off since last year, data shows.

I hear you, it's always tough out there, keep at it you got this.

The reason I take multiple interviews a week even when I'm not looking change positions is because it takes that level of legwork to maintain my career.

I don't want to sound like I'm down playing how difficult it is to succeed in our industry. It takes a bunch of work, and networking, but getting ahead if you have talent is 100% doable.

Thatd a good idea. I really need to do the same thing: apply and take interviews all the time even when I'm not looking to change. At the very least, it'll help me know what to frameworks and platforms to study for instead of studying broad tech interview concepts.
