I saw a positon labeled Junior Developer, looked inside, and it asked for five years of experience.
I’m starting to think my bachelor’s degree isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.
Ironically, “Computer Science” is the degree most likely to get you hired by the HR rep, but is also the degree that is least helpful in any practical application because it’s purely theoretical. Everything taught to you in Computer Science is abstracted from you and handled automatically by the compiler, API, OS, or protocol.
Ghost jobs that are just there to appear successful are a plague.
I heard a stat that 73% of entry level jobs have gone away. And it makes me so angry, it is hard to articulate all the ways this is terrible. Obviously, for the people entering the workforce. It is short sighted for a business to not have a hiring and development strategy that allows them to pick up fresh talent. And it creates a problem in 15 or 20 years when we don’t have enough people with the right experience. shakes fist into air
