Congrats on your new job!

I'm shocked at the large percentage of responses. In my last job search (senior computer DevOps Engineer), about 90% of applications got no response at all.

My 0 yoe search for programming position was like 120 applications, 2 responses and 1 job offer (14 months of applying).. got lucky and had an insider for my current job, should be a little easier going forward with some decent exp.

Thank you! It's a pretty specialized field within financial services, and I only applied to jobs that were a good fit...of which there were about 40 in the entire US over the course of a year.
