Ask HN: Why don't hiring managers provide feedback? (ycombinator.com)
I have been applying for SWE positions for nearly 2 months now, at an average of 1 application per day. Of the 37% that have responded, nearly 70% have been rejections, to which I send a message thanking them for consideration and asking if they have any constructive feedback in how I might improve either my application, interviewing (if applicable), or my KSAs.
