I was laid off last year and after thousands of applications and plenty of final interviews I've had no luck in getting a job. Even grocery stores and fast food aren't hiring. Has hiring been happening at all in Bellevue or Atlanta for corporate roles?

@wh you mad. we must go back, just like the show Lost
nobody goes back. this person is telling the truth. who leaves or is layoffed never never goes back. they don't want to. It is fact. A legacy of mikey sivert. Learn why he was put there. don't go back
@p7 I was laid off and rehired, so don't discount giving folks hope. I wasn't a software engineer OP, but I did boomerang back from a different role.
Good luck wherever you land OP, I don't know your chances of rehire, but I know there are rehires as one myself.
why would you go back or think about it at all. You know the place is always in flames. When a company only looses customers like the old sprint, nobody thinks of joining.
Stop looking back internally they will not hire unless an employee has some sort of niche skill they can't fill for less. I can't prove it, but they flag you in Workday as a RIF. They will give you a few HR screenings to feign they are interested in hiring displaced employees, but it will not go anywhere. Has anyone heard of a rehire success story? If we have, it's rare exception. I've had better treatment from external companies begging me to apply and give an interview while T-Mobile would ignore.
They have a quota to cut for a reason and don't want the imputed cost of decoupling employees to walk back in. Cuts were either because you were past the midpoint on the pay scale, they want to replace with AI, they have consolidation plans, or it's behavioral/mgr conflict they won't openly disclose.

Zero likelihood. Unless your Indeean and move to Hyderabad.
If you are young enough people cot to something like SAP
There are a ton of now hiring signs all over. Have you looked on LinkedIn or leveraged your existing network?
