I mean, what sort of compensation are you offering?

Also - I'm talking about last year, not now.

But I am recently out of college and have not even passed resume screen by a few companies despite referral, credentials, etc.

What city are you in, if I may ask?

Have you adjusted your pay for inflation? The rent prices have nearly doubled in ten years, so if you offer 100k today, it's like offering 60k in 2011.

Is it? Most folks seem to have like 6-7. Only 2 of mine were "real" from full time interviews, other two were from internships. I had a really low hit rate and didn't get into any top companies.
