Ask HN: Would you reapply to a company that ghosted you? (ycombinator.com)
Having gone through multiple rounds of interviews at different companies large and small, only to be ghosted is an incredibly frustrating experience. It's happened five times now. Including interviews I thought went really well, and one where the manager verbally assured me I'd be invited back for the next round. Not only is it unprofessional, it's a complete waste of my time invested.

Ask HN: How is the job search going? (ycombinator.com)
Out of work since August. I have submitted many resumes. I have to work remotely, so that might be against me, but I have never seen this kind of job market. In the past I would have 40 offers by this point with the number of applications I have submitted. My wife is pointing out that many jobs these days may be scams.
