I constantly read online and hear from others about the growing racism in North America for some ethnic groups. Some of this seems to be traversing in the hiring process as well with what I have read online. I personally have never had such an incident happen to me or anyone I know. Have you ever experienced racism while job hunting due to your ethnicity, nationality, or even name?

Is anyone else feeling like they arent being productive enough if they aren't applying to a bunch of jobs every single day? I'm being more intentional with my job applications, but there's only so many i can apply to as im seeing alot of the same jobs reposted for the millionth time this year

Any good tips to get better at interviewing? I’ve had 3 interviews with big tech companies for Technical Program Manager roles but didn’t land the job. One I got to final round, another to only the first interview and another to the second.

I overheard someone talking loudly about how the American Dream is dead and that the future is bleak. I definitely think there's a lot to change, but it doesn't seem like the American Dream is gone for good. Finding a job has been difficult, and the cost of living is out of control, but I think it's still possible to live a decent life. Thoughts?

Do you think the tech industry doesn’t care about referrals anymore? I have been networking aggressively and got a couple referrals to apply for two separate job openings, but I didn’t even end up getting an interview. My resumé and experience was vetted by the employees who provided me their referrals. Have you ever had such an experience?
