Thank god i’m not young! Because there’s no way in hell I could ever find my first job in this market where nothing is what it seems.
I pray I never have to search for a new job again, because from the looks of it, the market got awesome at firing, horrible at hiring, and practically non-existent at hiring beginners.
How frustrating is it to apply for a job labeled “entry-level” and discover it requires three years of experience, fluency in six software platforms, and ideally a minor in machine learning?
Clearly, that’s not an entry-level job. That’s a mid-level job pretending to be entry so the company can pay you less.
Yet another friend of mine lost her job a couple of days ago. She was working in IT. Not as a developer or anything truly technical, but something along the lines of coordinating developers, being the middle-man between them, their boss, and each other.
She was basically the person who was doing the talking for people who aren’t good at talking. Team manager, project manager, jack of all trades, and word whisperer for code whisperers.
I suppose they figured out they can do the communication and coordination themselves, or maybe ask ChatGPT to form some coherent sentences in their stead. Ha! They’re in for a big surprise. I already tried talking to ChatGPT and it gets very weird the moment I get weird.
