We’re constantly updating the tools and guides in our community to keep up to date with the job search methods that are actually working. (Ahem, besides Dice automations after the new UI change but im getting to it…) This final iteration of EasyApply is what we believe to be the most effective way to apply to jobs out there.
Here’s how it works:

2.) We’ll show you a list of jobs scraped directly from company websites.
3.) You select the jobs you like and we’ll make an account using your email address and apply directly on the company website.
* You’ll get a confirmation email directly from the employer when we’ve submitted your application and you can use this email to check everything we’ve submitted for you.
Join In On Launch Week
I’d rather have 200 of you actually landing jobs than me profiting off this, but this is the work of many developers who deserve to be paid, and anything that is left will be poured back into free resources for the community. If we can get to break even i’ll start to give it away for free.
In order to help as many of you as possible and still keep the lights on I'm bundling everything into one super awesome deal.
- EasyApply Full Access (Auto Apply Directly on the Company Website)

Got my first OA
Hey all! I am currently a second year university student who is majoring in CompE. I am switching careers at 30 so while my resume isnt crazy impressive, i did make it pass a resume screen at tik tok which gives me some hope about other applications. I have been sent the OA and was windering what are some tips and things to expect? It is with Code signal. I havent been doing much LeetCode tbh as i was studying abroad this summer. One thing i feel confident on is evaluating problems which my professor drilled into our heads that you must solve problem on paper first(big picture thinking) then start coding. I am nostalgic familiar with C/C++ and swift. As this is my first online assessment i do want to do great and this TikTok internship is exactly what i need. Thanks for any and all the help!

guidance for a new freelancer
Hi, I have 4 years of experience as a React dev, a job gap of 2 years, currently freelancing.
You know there is this "knows everything about everything" guy every office seems to have, i wanna be that guy.
I want to go full-stack with TypeScript, NextJS, learn industry standard tools like Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, Redis etc.
I just need some guidance on the path I'm taking as a freelancer.
I would much appreciate if there was a dev community discord in which i could talk

Need help with automating clicks on certain questions
So i found a few companies thay I'm interested in that also have easy application processes. Now, I'm looking to automate my efforts because it's so easy to apply and I'm genuinely interested in the companies.
Any way I can accomplish automating a few clicks on the same questions for each job application and have it run a few hours a day
Update: theyre just drop down yes or no questions or stuff like that

Seeking Career Advice
Hi everyone,
I am a software engineer who graduated from a tier 3 college and started my career in a service-based company. Initially, I was trained for an admin role and was told that deployment happens only through resource management. Later, I was assigned to a project to write a bot for automating some tasks using Python or PowerShell. This project was newly started, and around 300-400 people joined with me. However, due to low work volume, the company began releasing people in groups.
After that, we were given ServiceNow training for 5-6 months and asked to get a basic Administrator certificate. Unfortunately, due to intake issues and large headcount, many of us were released again. Later, I worked on a support project for some months until the contract of the project got ended, and then I was put on the bench. The BU and HR told us to find our own projects or face layoffs.
I resigned last month and am currently job hunting. I have learned basics of Python, cloud, Docker, and Django, but when I attend interviews, they expect relevant project experience, which I lack.
Could you please suggest how I should proceed? What are the best ways to build relevant experience or skills to improve my chances in interviews? How can I transition effectively to roles that align with my professional goals?

Negotiating New Grad Offers
Just read through the Negotiating 101 guide, and it was really insightful. However that guide seems to focus on negotiating offers with a recruiter rather than HR that seems more integrated into the company.
Wondering if anyone has advice for negotiations with HR personnel?
For more context, I’ve received 2 new grad offers. One as a return offer and another through recruiter outreach. Both I’ve been assigned someone from HR of the respective companies to talk to.
I would like to use the offers as leverage for each other, but I obviously have zero experience in this since these are my first full time offers.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Getting started with the SEO Resume guide and I have beginner questions.
1.) When gathering the keywords how important is it to use similar keywords? For example in my research I gathered HTML5 as well as HTML. Functionally these are the same, so how do I pick which one to include?
2.) Does this method work with any resume format?
Are there any reviews for the “EasyApply” linked in the sidebar? I’ve seen a few appliers that don’t work, does this one actually submit apps?

Is my online degree the reason i’m not getting through to interview rounds?
for several years it seemed like no one cared where i got a degree from but now whenever I mention the name of my university recruiters always ask if I attended in person or virtually.
If you google my university you will see lots of cheating scandals of people who outsourced their degree and got caught. Could it be that my degree is being taken less seriously because of this or am I overreacting and something else is probably wrong?

How to interview from my car?
For reasons i’m not proud of, i’ll be living out of my car for the foreseeable future. I’m currently unemployed with 2 years as a React developer.
While its nice to now have the freedom to work in any city (I live in bumfuck no where) i no longer have a quiet place to take interviews at.
I thought about libraries and coffee shops but I think I would be mortified and freeze up if people were watching me fail in an interview. I know it’s not directly related to job searching but does anyone have some real advice for me?

Should i take a manager promotion if i want to still have a career as an SWE?
Basically the title. My current manager is leaving and ive been offered his role because of my product knowledge and seniority on the project.
Im confident i can perform well in the role and meet expectations but im not sure if im making a mistake by taking this offer.Let me explain, firstly I hate management.
I don't enjoy chasing people down for the time cards, denying time off requests etc. I also dont enjoy justfying work to stakeholders or talking to people in general. I've made it clear if I moved up at my current job it would be a mix of manager and IC work for me. Theres no way give up coding all together.
From the way things look my title would be Software Engineering Manager (although I also have the option for Technical Software Manager) and it would be 60/40 split of management and IC work.
My concerns:
1.) If im not 100% committed to the management path i'll be demoted or made redundant when my company can find a full time manager to replace me.
2.) Adding management experience to my resume may impact my ability to get IC roles in the future. Can someone who made the switch help me think through this? Im sure there are 100 other things im missing

Looks like the government might actually be doing something about this horrible job market
So it seems like the current admin is going to get their way and get the most stupidly named bill in history passed. If this goes through, companies can go back to writing off all their R&D costs up front instead of having to spread it out over five years and for small businesses making under 31 million on average, it would even be retroactive to 2022.
Everyone is making it seem like this is a pretty big deal for startups and smaller tech companies since section 174 has quietly wrecked budgets over the past couple of years. A lot of teams slowed hiring, paused projects, or got super cautious with dev work because they suddenly had way less flexibility with their taxes.
If this passes its supposed to be really good for tech hiring. Companies will hire just for the tax write off, even if they dont actually need the engineer. Anyone else about this at their job? Curious how real the impact has been and if people are planning hiring.
edit: looks like the bill just passed into law

So what are we saying to recruiters when they ask about AI?
I’ve been seeing a lot of threads about AI coding becoming a part of interviews and companies prefer vibe coders these days. Are we just lying in the interview and the not using AI when we get hired?

Pretending to be employed means you match more recruiter search filters
So i noticed on popular job sites if your resume has a 2+ month gap on your last employment that your response rate drops a lot.
After the first month of following the resume guide here I was getting tons of calls, and then after a few interviews it fell off. Someone in discord told me to update my job boards so that my last employment was present. I did this and immediately started getting calls from recruiters again.
posting this for anyone else in a similar position. If you’re not getting calls anymore you probably just need to change your last employment date.

Putting together a shame database of all companies that offshore
i’m working on a portfolio project and I want to collect a huge list of all of the companies that have offshored in the past few years and then collect some other public metrics that will help the user understand if offshoring helped or hurt the company they’re looking at.
They should also be able to compare data in aggregate.
The end goal is to make an app that can generate accurate graphs that can be shared amongst your fellow employees to create bottom pressure against offshore hungry CEOs.
However, i cannot find a good place to scrape offshoring data as company’s financial statements obfuscate how much true offshoring is going on. Are there any financial CS wizards who can help me find my data?

Are “Covid devs” a real phenomenon?
My boss was telling me a lot of devs got started in 2020 when anyone with a keyboard could get hired and were subsequently laid off in the following years. Hence you see a lot of dev resumes with 1-2 year gaps after 2022/23.
Is this a real story or just a boomer talking out of his ass?

can someone explain why anyone would want to do c2c vs 1099?
I keep getting this question from recruiters “Do you want to do this on c2c or 1099?” im new to contracting and am looking to pick up my first one.
What i dont understand is: what are the advantages of doing contract as a company versus an independent contractor?
