Finally got into the company I wanted!!
Over the past two months, I sent out 47 applications, failed 5 coding tests, and got rejected in 2 final interviews—but I had the last laugh. My salary is 20% higher than last year, and the tech stack is all stuff I already know how to use, so I'm not worried.
I feel sorry and grateful to my wife for waiting for me. Hang in there, everyone preparing for a job change. Your acceptance news is coming soon.

Congratulations!! The hard work is finally over!!
Congrats, so-and-so. But a 20% raise is legit.
Wow, that's really impressive. I was feeling down after sending out 30 applications and getting rejected from all of them, but I need to stay strong.
Congratulations! Your wife must be happy too. I'm also preparing to change jobs, and seeing this post gives me strength.
Well, a 20% raise doesn't necessarily mean it's great. Benefits and work-life balance matter more. But still, congratulations.
I failed 5 coding tests and 2 final interviews, but those experiences are why I'm where I am today. You've been through a lot!
Oh, I didn't know that. But if it's about working with tech stacks, they'll adapt quickly lol.
Got a source? Nah, just saying congrats lol
It's nice that you think of your wife. Congrats on passing, and may your married life be fulfilling! lol
Seeing this gives me the courage to try it too. Heartfelt congratulations, and I hope things go well at the new company!
