We probably need a little more information to help. In my experience, I got
enough very close matches from past companies (1 or 2) that I didn't need to
look at other promising candidates. The number of applicants is irrelevant --
what matters is the number of good applicants that are a match for what I am
looking for and I only need 1.

There is generally a shortage of engineers, but you still need to find a good
match for what you can offer.

1\. Are you applying to jobs where your skills/level/location match what was
being advertised?

2\. Is that clear from your application? Did you write a custom cover letter
that specifically draws attention to the match?

3\. Generally what level are you? What is your strongest tech stack/language?
Location?

I recommend trying out other places. I got my current job on
careers.stackoverflow.com -- if you need an invite, email me at loumfranco on
