    Let me guess - Silicon Valley-like company? Focused on new fads, long or short, eager to adopt any new trend for themselves?

    Yes

    The only part “AI” plays in this is giving employers the sensation that they can replace workers. Which companies that are building on trends, especially silicon valley ones, are much more likely to fall for. And I’m very sure that the “800” applications were sent to very similar companies.

      In my last job search, I sent out more than a thousand applications across multiple industries, got one interview, didn’t get the job. It’s very plausible.
