I'm a fullstack web dev with 7 years of experience, and been casually searching for the past year or so, but most applications don't go anywhere, when I've had no problems with resumes in the past.

How have your experiences been, anyone having any better luck?

10+ YoE here.

Companies' hiring processes have become very slow. I applied and got interviews with 4 companies. I only got offers from 2 of them because the others were so slow. Meta was the slowest, 6 months to first interview.

That said, the offers were $800k/yr and $500k/yr total comp so I can't complain. The catch was mandatory in-office in downtown SF. I'd have to move. It was a hard decision if I'm being honest.
