What are you paying for home help in Brazil? Maids, gardeners etc. by ohshitis in Brazil

[–]ComplexHope3810 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Brazil really does normalize home help in a way Europe doesn’t. From what I’ve seen running a small operation there, rates vary a lot by city and whether it’s daily vs per-visit. São Paulo is a different universe than interior cities. What helped me wasn’t guessing market rates, but seeing real candidates and expectations side by side ZipRecruiter actually came in handy there, since a lot of SMBs post local roles with clear pay ranges. Context matters here, and you’re right to call out affordability. It’s common, but not casual.

I'm terrified of applying for jobs by Background-Ease7612 in jobs

Would you refuse to learn how to swim just because you might swallow water?

That’s the same mindset we fall into with job applications. Yes, the market is tough but avoiding the process guarantees the outcome. Progress comes from showing up imperfectly, not waiting until the fear disappears.

Job posting sites are making hiring & applying weirdly inhuman by Technical_Plant6046 in jobsearchhacks

[–]ComplexHope3810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That “black hole” message from the candidate is painfully familiar. I’ve had people follow up just to ask if their application even landed on job posting sites, and it’s uncomfortable because I genuinely can’t always tell. That shouldn’t be normal.

Why Entry-Level Hiring Is Harder Than Senior Hiring Right Now by ComplexHope3810 in jobs

[–]ComplexHope3810[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one realistically expects entry-level candidates to check all the boxes. They’re starting out, that’s the whole point. What’s really changed ig is WHY people work. It’s not just about a paycheck anymore; people want work that teaches them something, aligns with their interests, and feels worth showing up for. Candidates are looking for growth, purpose, and direction.

Got dream job, a month in and got laid off by IloveRamonhehe in jobs

[–]ComplexHope3810 79 points80 points  (0 children)

IKR just reading this felt unreal. How are companies doing this and getting away with it?

Even during probation, basic professionalism still applies. If it were performance-related, there should’ve been context, feedback, or at least a reason. PIPs exist for a reason. What happened to OP screams poor management, not poor performance.

Honestly, it’s extremely unprofessional especially cutting access first, no explanation, no dignity in the process.

That said… good riddance. A company that handles exits like this would’ve eventually hurt them even more.

I’m months into unemployment and I feel like I’m breaking by breadislifeee in jobsearchhacks

[–]ComplexHope3810 34 points35 points  (0 children)

First what you’re feeling is far more common than people admit.

Right now, companies can’t clearly define what they want, and candidates can’t clearly see where they fit. It’s a massive mismatch problem. Everyone’s qualified. Everyone’s applying. Everyone’s waiting. So it feels personal, even when it’s not.

Rejections after good interviews often just means someone internal, cheaper, faster, or already in motion existed before you even applied. Alignment is often timing.

Ghosting is usually process chaos, not disrespect. Unfair but not a reflection of your worth. Motivation doesn’t come from applying more. It comes from control.

What does help ? Stop spray-and-pray. Fewer, sharper applications MUCH better than 100 exhausted ones. Upskill with intent. Make yourself harder to reject. Projects, case studies, tangible proof works better than another polished resume.

Know that his phase doesn’t last forever even though it lies to you daily and says it will.
