My sibling and I are both software engineers and we both started off at the same company. After two years of experience, recruiters from all types companies (non-tech, tech, FAANG, startups, etc) started reaching out to them via LinkedIn quite frequently–on the order of 1-2 messages per week lately (it used to be so much more frequent when the job market was better). So when I reached the two year mark I was really excited for that to start happening to me, but it never did!
We literally have the exact same experience, and I kind of formatted my LinkedIn to look similar to theirs too. The only thing different about our experiences is I have some old non SE roles on there, and I got a degree in applied physics but they got theirs in computer science. I also have a little more than 4 years of experience and they have a little more than 6.
I’m not super worried about it as I can just ask them to forward me any companies they have no interest in, but I’m wondering if any recruiter/hiring manager can confirm that even at mid and senior levels there’s still a bias towards CS majors?
