Applied to 1200 Jobs

I've applied to 1200 and have gotten 1 interview, not one person from my SWE grad class of 2023 is working in tech today.

A Reddit-style post complains that the speaker has applied to 1,200 jobs but received only one interview, while nobody from their 2023 software engineering graduating class works in tech. The joke highlights the bleak entry-level tech job market and is used as a relatable reaction to mass layoffs, hiring freezes, and failed job searches.
