This rings true in my experience. I'm in the tech space, but my brother is a veterinarian. Find a job, he must comb through local newspapers, look for vet shops, ask friends/colleagues and maybe look in 3 or 4 job pages. And the pay is shit.

This does not sound like someone who has been job hunting for software roles in the last few years.
I applied to ~60 positions that I think I was a strong fit for through linkedin and indeed and only heard back from 3. Only one of those actually followed through to an interview.
I also searched company careers pages manually and applied to 5 companies directly, which resulted in 4 interviews and 3 offers.
5 years of experience and all three offers were for ~$150k fwiw.
