Ask HN: Self-taught roadmap to multiple big tech offers in a few years?
It&#x27;s hard to say without more details however the bit about applying to 1000 jobs definitely raised my eyebrows.<p>How do you apply to jobs? If you&#x27;re simply going on indeed or LinkedIn and clicking easy apply I can see why you might not get many responses.<p>For reference I think I&#x27;ve only applied to maybe 20 jobs in my life and got at least a first interview for 18 of them. That said my process for applying to a job takes at least a few hours if not days, because I research the company, try and understand why they&#x27;re hiring, try and find people who work their to talk to, then I tailor my resume to the position and apply by asking someone to pass it along to the relevant person. I don&#x27;t have A CS degree, a deep network or any notable opensource projects so I&#x27;m fairly confident this approach would work for anyone.
