Wow my team at Adobe put up a job offer for a SWE position and they received 850 applications in the first day.

Edit: I meant job posting, not job offer sorry for the typo My supervisor was telling us in stand up today and he said that he spent some time just looking at the first \~100 applicants or so and said

Edit: I meant job posting, not job offer sorry for the typo My supervisor was telling us in stand up today and he said that he spent some time just looking at the first \~100 applicants or so and said that most are people laid off from FAANG, or people at unicorns, and they all have several years of experience. They already shut the post down because they were overwhelmed sorting through all the applicants. This is for a mid-level position, I am not sure of the TC, it is fully remote. This is crazy. I even asked my manager if I could apply to it internally (I'm in DevOps / SRE and desperately trying to get out since my SWE skills are stagnating) but he said I didn't have enough experience which is fair since I am a new grad. ​ Have you guys seen the same at your companies? I guess I was mostly surprised at the quality of applicants.. usually I hear that maybe 5% would be good but it looks like the majority are actually really good.
