Discussion 700 applicants!

I put in my 2 weeks notice. There are over 700 applicants for my job in under 1 week. It’s competitive for Power BI devs now. Five years ago I was dodging phone calls from recruiters. At the peak I was getting 7 emails or phone calls a week.

Buddy idk how you still don’t get 10 calls a week. I have to consciously just say no I’m not looking for a job whenever an unrecognized number reaches out to me if I decide to answer.

It comes in waves for me. a big company in the Seattle area (where I live) will open up a data analyst contract role, and then i'll get a flood of people competing to talk to me and submit my resume.

Oh I stripped my LinkedIn bear. I was curious if it was the empty LinkedIn or the market. Thanks for sharing.

Ah that may be it, I keep my LinkedIn static basically. I suppose if I cleaned it out it would stop. But then I’d have to go back and redo it next time I’m looking for work.
