Hey man - I used this tip to basically get 80% response on my applications.
I used to build a landing page for every single company I applied to and hosted my cover letter on it. Not a lot of people do this and for some reason or another it really made me stand out (even though there were probably better candidates). Remember it's all about marketing yourself.
For example if I was applying for a job at Dropbox, I would create a Dropbox page on my website and put my cover letter in plain text on the page with relevant links. siddhant-misra.github.io/portfolio... and send that link in where the application asks for a personal website or something.
I would also look at potentially buying siddhant-misra.com to do this. For some reason again, makes you seem more viable when you have your own website over hosting on Github static pages.

This is a dilemma I am having over the past two-three months. I have had various people tell me to have "quality" in your applications rather than concentrating on "quantity" of applications.
Your way does seem sure to be concentrating a lot on a specific application. But I have been contemplating on buying a domain that is specifically tailored.
For sure quality. It takes up a lot of time but it increases your chances a lot in my opinion. Are you looking for positions in San Francisco? Regardless, good luck and keep on going - you got this!

Yeah. I am right now in NYC and moving out to SF in a month so I am applying there also.
Maybe I will alternate the quality and quantity of applications every week. That way I won't go crazy.
Thank you.
