Don't let people bamboozle you. This company put on a facade of 'we are such a great company' - but they were pumping and dumping left and right to get their bottom line met. Don't let that happen to you.

I have been working in web dev for 14 years now, and I must say it has gotten much worse since the rise of social media. So many companies are just trying to sell an idea and some how make it to IPO and get rich. Lots of shady stuff and sketchy companies. Glad your speaking out about it and putting some light on an industry that seems to hide behind mountains of money and six figure hires. Recently started watching your vids Josh, good stuff man, keep telling the other side of the story.

I tried to interview for a part time job for students, when I was at university. I did their codetest, and had an interview. Then I didn't hear anything for months, and I even contacted them multiple times, to hear what the status was. Then I got rejected for not having enough experience. For a job for students. When I was done with my studies, I got a job immediately after at a big company, which I actually really liked. So after about a year this company with the student job, approached me, and wanted to hire me full time. I only had to accept a lower salary than what I already had, but they said they had a better culture, than where i worked, plus most likely less overtime. I told them no :D And then I told them that I never really did overtime. I've done a few times, when my team leaders asked me. But there was rarely any need for overtime.

You’re opening my eyes to a trend, here. When someone quits a job, nobody else questions whether the role they are leaving should continue to exist or what will be done in the meantime, possibly because Business God has mandated that “the remaining believers shall not be affected by a missing body”. You can’t transplant everything beneficial from one person to another. That’s why humans, even ones who work together, remain distinguishable from one another at the end of each day. Maybe I’m talking out of my ass, but why else would it seem like a company, small or large, gradually transformed from something caring into a dementor from Harry Potter? Shadow Moses conspiracy etc. Nice vid, once again.

You’re so right! When I’m looking for a job I have to do pretty heavy filtering through the companies. I remember one day I got a call from “Facebook ”. They gave me garbage coding homework, when I reached out to them for the details they just said “Oh don’t worry about it! The fact that you asked it shows a lot! You’re hired!” No background check, no a decent technical interview. And yeah, it wasn’t Facebook, it was a small dev body shop with the main office outside of the US and they just pick whatever contract they can get. No info on Glassdoor, only 2 people worked there as FTE on LinkedIn. They kept harassing me for a week or so. I just said no. Beware! Google, Facebook, Amazon might not be those companies but just a small body shops or worse just scammers.

I think the answer to your issues and mines... is reaching higher. It's about time you become a developer at Twilio, Zynga, Asana, Evernote, Zillow, Square...maybe not a job at Apple, Google, or Facebook. But definitely probably time to reach higher

It ended up lasting about a year before work ran out. It's good experience. You end up doing everything yourself because it's a small company and at the end of it you have a year of job history as a junior developer on the resume (because there was no one to mentor you, not because you deserved it; but it does make it hard for future employers to insist you start as a intern/graduate).

This is a really common theme around here. I don't know how the laws in the Us are, but here, your first year you get paid 60% of the wage and and second year a 75% if you are under 30 and you have worked for less than 2 years. Also, the first 2 months in a company, they are free to let you go without compensation, it's like a trial period. So a lot of companies hire young people without much experience, they paid them minimum wages and after a couple of months they let them go and start over with a different person. Funniest of all is that the company gets money from the government for hiring young people, so basically they get free labour, 2 months at a time. Then they wonder why there are so many young people unemployed

I recently joined an international tech company (my first dev job after my masters degree) and they have been hiring anywhere between 12-80 new people every month for the last year and a half, here are some key facts let me know what you think! • new hires out of uni(masters level) preferably with a second language • depending on language will be sent to work in Germany Belgium or France • you get put on a project for a customer of the company (it’s a consulting company with customers like BMW Airbus VW... • apparently salary is a bit lower than the average for education and experience • it’s basically a lottery what project you get on, some people hate their projects or got put on one‘s they explicitly said they did not want, I like my project though it has been a tough two months • there was a clause in the contract(got removed last week) that if you leave you have to pay back money (2 grand after two months, rising up to 8 grand after 12 months, then going back down to 2 grand after 24 months) many people were unhappy about this - their reasoning was the training you get on the job would have to be paid back if you left. • the training is a month of team building and consulting skills workshops in Geneva ( not bad you get to build a robot with arduino), a Udemy for business licence and a Rosetta Stone licence Im quite happy with the job even though it’s pretty tough for my first dev job, lots of people didn’t like it though we had three people leave from my months hires Hope everyone gets a job they enjoy :)

The whole you can be hired and you can be fired (and replaced) is something I knew a long time ago. Employees are expendable cogs basically (to use the machine analogy). No loyalty from the companies but they expect it from you, which probably ties into why job hopping is looked down upon

I have worked in a Startup, the company itself was fine, but i got bored. Because you will probably be making ( as was I) and upgrading a single piece of software. You must really like the software and be super enthusiastic about the company not to get bored with it.

As a self taught JavaScript developer I took my first job in my home town as they offered 40k. I was so excited to work there it was great. 2 months later the company went down. They had no money and tons of expenses. 😂😂

You have to remember that most initial hiring managers are HR drones that don't understand that a lot of IT work is volatile project based work, they also don't understand that a lot of tech workers are quite happy to squirrel away a chunk of their salary and take a short break between jobs

Murica is weird .. in germany you either get a limited or unlimitet contract. If its limited you know for how long you work there and after that the company can create another contract to keep you there. And they cant kick you out for nothing but if they have to let you go for whatever reason ( maybe they ran out of money ) then they have to tell you that a few month before you have to leave so you have time to search for another job. Companies in germany are always searching vor DEVs, when i was at a job interview at my current job they asked if i have other interviews and that they have to talk about if they can afford me there and that they would call me in like 4 weeks... and if i got a job offer from someone else i should call them to speed up. The next day the CEO already called me and said i got the job and he sent me the contract to look if i like it. excuse my english, not my first language and i have no trust in google translate :D TLDR: Germany i much safer for employees.

Hey Josh , I have been watching your videos and you are doing really great in posting videos . But one suggestion I have for many people is that if you are good resource , then the company will never loose them . And in worst case of they have budget issues and loose job . We can get job very easily as we have right skills . Bottom line is , if you have right skills in market , then there are many jobs . Need to be gone in coding , and have right skills .
