Reply to comment by DamnImBeautiful in [OC] What job hunting has been like as a (lucky) 2022 graduate in tech by lil_techa

Curiosity has been piqued, what type of "tech" positions? Remote only? For the last data analyst I hired we only had 3 applicants. Though, the company wouldn't let me make it a remote position and it wasn't a huge city.

That is rough. It ended up being a new grad I hired but again, 3 applicants. I have been lucky I suppose, I worked patient care for 15 years before I started in the informatics/data analytics side. Job hunts have been fairly easy because of the healthcare background with some tech.
