Welcome to the jungle is a good one if you're looking for a tech job.

But the truth is you'll have to slog through the bullshit regardless. It took me 7 months and several hundred applications to find my current job, and I basically only got an interview because my wife works here and her boss knows me and works closely with my boss.

Edit: and I took a physical laborer position at the job so I'd already be in the system. I went from making $130k a year to $15 an hour for 16 hours a week just to get a job making half of what I was making, although there's serious job security.
