I don't believe this. My latest job hunt was about 6 months ago, I had to stop applying for jobs I got so many callbacks. My CV is decent but hardly outstanding, good experience but no name-brand companies.
I saw another comment where you said you are in Russia, my guess is that is the reason. Not like there's much consumer tech investment flowing there at the moment.
This is the first I have heard of an experience like this. To what to you attribute your success?
Basically two things:
* I target jobs I've got an advantage at (e.g. they use backend Kotlin, which is a bit niche but I have several years experience in).
* I'm friendly, talkative, and if the energy is right, will banter. Doesn't sound like much but being easy to talk to is a massive advantage.
