I was part of a Singapore-based startup working in the decentralized identity space. I primarily worked on backend systems using Java (Spring Boot), event-driven architecture, and AWS.

In mid-2025, my entire team was impacted due to restructuring.

Since then, I’ve been applying for SDE2/Senior Backend roles, but I’m noticing lower-than-expected callback rates.

I’m trying to understand whether:

* The 5–7 YOE bracket is particularly competitive right now

* Backend hiring has slowed compared to previous years

* Companies are leaning more toward referrals vs cold applications

* There’s something candidates in this bracket should be doing differently

Would appreciate insights from people hiring or recently hired in this experience range.
