In 2017, on a rainy day in San Francisco, Tal decided to mass apply to 400+ tech product manager jobs in a single day.
Though it took like 8 hours, she got more initial phone interviews in one week than she'd ever had before (28!!!) which resulted in 3 job offers.
After trying the same experiment with friends who had different professional backgrounds, it became clear that despite popular advice, the "spray and pray" approach actually can work -- often better and faster than any other approach.
