It's brutal out there and Nike on your resume isn't the gold stamp it used to be. It's a numbers game, apply to 1000 open roles, get 50 interviews hopefully get to the late rounds on 5 of them Hope to get an offer. Keep cranking and dont get discouraged it's not you its a buyers market and the buyers are picky AF.

You need to leave Portland or find a different career. I'm not even joking. Computery jobs have been in decline 4% YoY.

Interviewed with an ex nike hiring manager who absolutely did not want to hire nike talent lol
It’s been over a year. No job still. Some interviews. Lots and lots of resumes and networking.
Even got a few interviews back at Nike. The cash pay for etw is about 35% less than what I was making full time with benefits before the layoff. So with benefits factoring in even less.
Still looking though and doing some volunteer work tutoring kids to stay busy.
Right now, having Nike on your resume is a bad thing in the Portland area.
