I recently learned that a colleague of mine, who has over six years of experience in iOS mobile application development, was laid off back in February. We had a conversation where he mentioned that he's been applying to various positions and going through multiple interviews, but unfortunately, he hasn't progressed to the final round in any of them. This has left me wondering if this is a common issue in the current job market. I'm curious to hear if others are experiencing similar challenges in their job searches.
