Where can I still apply?
To everyone out there looking for a job, best of luck. I’ve compiled a list of some name-brand companies that are still hiring, and I’ll write a bit about how I would approach job hunting now.
At the time of writing:
- Apple has 600+ software engineering openings
- Microsoft has 111 software engineering openings

- Flexport has 48 software engineering openings
- Square still has 74 software engineering and data science positions
