For real. I have been very frugal and financially disciplined since my early twenties. Now in my early thirties and I think I might just abandon the US. If I liquidate all holdings and investments I would have enough cash to live well in Thailand for the next 10 years and honestly idk why I wouldn't at this point.... I mean will the world even still be running in 10 years? I don't see this economy getting any better...

The hiring process has broken me. I have actual skills and experience to offer employers, and the right attitude to go along with it. That being said, I feel drowned out in a crowd of people who are simply more malevolent and cunning with their words. The most important lesson I've learned over the past few years is that skills, experience, mindset, attitude... all of those qualities take a backseat to delusional confidence backed by nothing and straight up lying about nearly anything. If you want to win, you better be prepared to put on that mask and learn to love it.

That's the problem right; These guys are looking for what they consider 'perfect applications' rather than well suited candidates. They'll throw away a resume if it's not 100% perfect / doesn't have key words...some will even use AI to fucking filter through resumes rather than looking for HUMANS behind the resume. Who knows how many loyal, profit turning, innovative, creative, integrity-driven, results-focused employees have they passed up because they're not "playing the game" correctly?

@wetter4293 a lot of resumes are chatgpt generated nowadays too. You wouldn't believe how many companies are getting fake resumes. Literally some case over 95% of cold applications are fake. The tactic being get in the interview and for every offer they don't do any work and hire a contractor (super common practice in India and China). Basically recruiters aren't the only problem.

How do you define "of value"? Fastest way to checking all the boxes is to give back to the community we all steal from on a daily basis. Open source. Creating a project "of value" is more being an entrepreneur than a better engineer. If you optimize for time and speed i would ditch that and just do open source. You get the "of value" inherently and the clout of being on big projects.

@@Scott_Stern I mean something useful for you or someone else. Not necessarily of monetary value. For example I downloaded lists of youtube videos with JDownloader but then I had to manage those hundreds of videos. Instead of doing this manually I programmed a C# WPF-Tool that did exactly what I wanted. I programmed something useful (for me). No one needed to tell me what to do. When problems arose I just solved them (like you do in a real programming job). When there were bugs I debugged them. When I had ideas for new features, that would make things more convenient for me, I just implemented them. And of course I had to design a UI. It wasn't a big project but just something I wanted to do. Doing programming exercises for the sake of doing an exercise is just boring to me. And I got a programming job eventually.

I know many of you that are young are looking at this as a sign of desperation. And many older people are too, the 1000 resumes and crazy hoops only to not get hired happens to guys like me too with 10 years experience and in a principal level role. The only solution right now is to strike out on your own. Build a business, build products, consult, whatever you have to do. Spend more time building stuff and less applying for jobs. I don’t see any other way to get out of this mess other than to sidestep the process. If you still want a job anyway, don’t apply for anything until a hiring manager asks you to submit a resume as a technicality. Read that sentence very carefully and understand what it implies.

IMO it feels like the tech industry is now oversaturated with new graduates. Other older industries that boomed and busted had a similar pattern. It's always the new incoming grads (studying for a job in that industry), that first feel the decline. In the form of difficulty finding a first job. Because opportunities begin to dry up, and the easiest thing for companies to do when cutting costs is stop hiring new engineers or not backfill departing employees. Tech might not be the same gold mine you've been led to believe when you went to school. Just like law firms (which have been steadily on the decline), the old-timers/partners keep making the good bucks. But the rot starts affecting lower tier employees and it becomes harder and harder to find jobs. Don't be fooled by senior engineers talking about how great things still are. They are the last to be impacted by industry decline, so they won't know whats going on when it's already wayyyyy too late for you. On top of that you got the AI threat, which is like 1-2 years away from eating up all junior dev jobs anyways. Time to look into working in construction/landscaping IMO.

It's hard to be a good developer and it takes a load of time and effort just like anything worth doing in life.

Just send connection requests and grow your network with people in your field of study. Talk about what you study and try to learn what you can from other people. From - graduate student with 5 tech certs and I've been in the industry about a year.

It's a fallacy that working on personal projects are equal to professional experience. It's probably more like a 5-1. Like 50 hours of work on a personal project might be as valuable as 10 hours on a professional project with a team of engineers to learn from

Meh. Doesn't apply to everything. Bug bounties or finding insane zero day exploits in mainstream applications (Chrome, firefox, or Outlook) or the big kahuna which is firmware or CPU vulnerabilities is tantamount to respect and "Experience". Most cybersecurity researchers work alone or in small groups of 6 - 12. The world of developers is such a strange world of gatekeeping and fraud.

Here's an idea, don't try apply to 100 jobs. You have to tailor your CV to the business. Many grads have no idea what many companies actually do. They also have no idea about product development. You're not just trying to sell your skills, you need to show how you would use those skills to make the company money. Can you solve the company's problems, or are you just there to collect the salary and offer no direction?

What a total piece of garbage this advice is. And the problem is that I see this a lot, so apparently someone is spreading this crap. Can you imagine people who want to hire junior software developer, or any kind of software developer, sit there and ask "How can YOU, candidate, help US make more money?". If you think this is how real life works, you are completely delusional. What happens in real life: dev team has projects and tasks to do, if the current resources are not sufficient, team leader talks to business about the need of increasing dev team. Business provides financing, then dev team creates requirements for candidate. Requirements are handled to human resources, which hand them to in-house or (usually) 3rd party recruiters. Neither of these people care about MONEY which junior or senior or whatever you name it developer can bring to company. Recruiters care to cover position, dev team cares that new hire is decent both socially and technically and can perform tasks and collaborate. Software developer is not a door to door salesman, who needs to convince someone to buy their product.

Don’t listen to this blackpilling nonsense. I literally only had a certificate no college degree and I get my tech job and this was 25 years ag - oh wait no it was 6 months ago get with it people

The real issue with people trying to get a job is that they are unhireable to begin with. They can barely get a job at mcdonalds let alone hold onto that job for extended periods of time. Its a red flag when you have zero work history and a college degree. It is a liability to hire a dude that has been able to have minimal social social skills for their entire lives and expect them to collaborate as a team when they get to your company. I see this when I try to hire freelancers a lot since they move into freelancing next and their terrible social and communication skills makes me quickly move on to other people.

I am not a software developer, however I am in a technical position that sometimes involves me hiring a junior engineer. I personally would not give a shit if junior has pet project, I won't be using their code anyway, and because they are juniors, they dont understand how things really work in real life. I am not hiring junior to cover middle position. What I am looking for during interview is: 1) Fundamental skills and knowledge. I am not teaching basics to junior. I expect candidate to have fundamental knowledge. If you don't know, you are not junior, you are just some bloke from the street who heard that IT has high salary. 2) Communicational skills. Dude, if you are stuttering and can't answer question without mumbling or you just being weird, I simply don't want to work with a person like that, especially if I am going to be mentoring them. Speak normally and in concise manner. 3) Willingness to learn. Junior position implies a person who will be doing basic tasks, following instructions and learning lots of new information. Personally I am asking candidates about their ambitions, what they want to achieve, what they want to learn and how they are learning now. What courses they are watching, what books they are reading, etc. I dont need junior that is not willing to learn, the whole point of hiring a junior is hiring a person who has fundamental skills and knowledge and can learn on the fly so the team can oflload more simple work from middle and senior members.

I've never understood why people who studied IT infrastructure (network, systems, database) engineering had to first "cut their teeth" on the helpdesk, despite not wanting to work there. Help desk is kind of the entry level where you'd prove yourself, after that you would apply for the job you actually studied for (e.g. network engineering). But software developers skip this step and go straight into a dev role upon graduation 🤔
