Hey everyone,

I’ve been trying to switch jobs for a while now but not getting any callbacks, and I’m honestly not sure what I’m doing wrong.

I have ~3 years of backend experience (Python, FastAPI/Django, AWS, async systems), and I’ve worked on production systems. I’ve also had some startup experience and built a small Shopify site.

I’ve been applying regularly and even getting referrals through LinkedIn, but still not hearing back from most places.

Is this normal right now, or am I missing something obvious?

Would really appreciate any advice on:

- What I might be doing wrong

- How to improve my chances of getting interviews

- Or anything I should change in my approach

Thanks in advance.
