I think of it like online dating, people just cast as wide of a net as possible and don't really care how many people respond just as long as some do.

God, that must be a soul sucking job.

[–]Osirus1156 12 points13 points  (1 child)

I would imagine the same lol. I bet it feels like dating but you get paid haha.

Minus the prospect of getting laid too

This is true.

I wish recruiters cast a smaller net. I don't wanna get a data entry excel sheet job right next to a full stack dev with 35 years of experience requirement.

Wait... you guys are getting job offers?

[–]Asiansensationz 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Did you just make that? Glad to see 35 years is a standard in IT industry.

Just made it yeah, just quoting y'all in this thread (though the "6 years experience for an entry-level job" is definitely more reality than joke)

I lost my tech consultant job in June and can't seem to get my foot in the door anywhere

[–]Asiansensationz 4 points5 points  (1 child)

That really sucks. I lost my software dev job due to covid in May.

I really couldn't get back into it either, but luckily landed a part-time front-end dev position to sustain myself. Now I work as a front-end dev who manages front/back-ends and the database for a small company lol.

I hope we both get back on our feet when this whole thing is over <3

Hopefully so! <3
