I was just going to post a similar thread from the hiring manager's side. Genuinely curious how many responses y'all receive. I'm in Chicago, not SF but the responses almost never come.
It's almost always at least 1 response. I don't think I've ever gotten more than 10 responses. Something like 4 is typical.
On average I think I find one that is good and one that is minimally acceptable. Several have been hired, but at least one of those was redundantly discovered elsewhere.
Thank you! I felt like my description wasn't far off so I'm going to adjust a little. I'm not opposed to juniors but that's all I have received thus far after 6/7 months of using the thread.
