[14 YoE, Unemployed, Principal/Lead/Senior Engineer, Remote]
I am software engineer with around 14 years of experience out of which first 6-7 years I have been in web2 while last 8 years I have been in web3.
Due to restructuring in August in my company, I am looking out for job.
- What roles/industries are you targeting?: Mostly web3 (blockchain domain). Roles are senior/lead/principal protocol engineer
- Where are you applying? (Local, remote, willing to relocate?): Remote
- What's your job search situation and challenges?: I have applied to quite a few places in web3 through hiring portal (mostly all remote) and I am getting either ghosted or get standard rejection email.
- Any specific resume sections you want feedback on?: On Summary, selected work and overall presentation (more details pasted below).
- Visa/citizenship status affecting your search?: No, most of the jobs I applied to are remote.
I have asked AI to format it and make it impact driven using standard latex template with my content. I also review and correct it after that. So, it is not complete AI slop. And I also tailor my resume for each position I am targeting.
Even after all of these, I am not sure why I am getting rejection at first stage. Is it due to how I am presenting my capability or positioning myself? or standard ATS formatting issue.
Any help or feedback is greatly appreciated.
