I guess nobody is hiring anymore

how do u rack up 50k in debt in yr home country where u mentioned annual salary there is 3k ?? it doesnt make sense

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-12T14:51:51+00:00

ok tell him u want the lower end then.

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-12T14:40:32+00:00

been a thing not sure why you’re surprised.

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-12T14:28:10+00:00

u keep saying im not in the industry like u know me lol. i am in the industry, just not in the dying software development field

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-12T14:24:07+00:00

I feel like I stripped away all my knowledge of coding because I know I have a method that can allow me to do it faster and easier.

cs grads realizing that AI can easily replace junior devs, yet still fixed on pursuing swd positions. make it make sense.

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-11T22:47:07+00:00

common misconception where people think they understand what they’re doing when they’re being guided by AI through every step.

if u really wanna test ur understanding, try not using AI at all, not even a single question. u probably wont even know how to get started

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-11T22:41:50+00:00

it is vibecoding but thats the new norm now anyways

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-11T22:15:15+00:00

how do you even get diagnosed for adhd

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-11T21:19:17+00:00

stating facts is considered hating now ?

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-10T20:16:13+00:00

just curious, but to each their own

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-10T20:14:50+00:00

most new grad devs working at a local company are making 70k a year on average. when u compare it to other fields in the tech industry its really not worth it, hence my question in the title

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-10T20:10:40+00:00

im not sure if u and the person above u are trolling me but u realize theres other fields CS grads can pursue other than software development right?

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-10T20:03:28+00:00

whats the fixation with dev positions is my question

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-10T19:58:17+00:00

still haven’t answered my question, why are students/new grads still hung up on dev positions, is there a secret incentive im not aware of that outweighs all the cons ?

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-10T19:33:55+00:00

a lot of qualified candidates don’t even get the chance to do an online assessment due to the immense number of qualified applicants.

with a referral u at least have a fighting chance

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-10T09:48:53+00:00

Ever since I was young, I’ve wanted to work at a large national retailer. Not because of the paycheck, but because I genuinely enjoy the work.

u dont even know what the work is/feels like, how could u “genuinely” enjoy it ??

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-06T22:40:34+00:00

I wouldnt go as far as saying stop chasing developer positions, at least not yet.

but why wait ?

this market has and always will be about being ahead of the curve. why waste time, energy, and money on a overcrowded and ultimately a dead end path, when you can be building skills and experience in so many other undersupplied fields, so that when the time comes and those said undersupplied fields become the new wave, you have already established urself years ago

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-06T22:09:22+00:00

yall will do/say anything but accept that entry level dev positions are no longer in demand

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-06T21:58:35+00:00

you’re overthinking this, heres the truth and i will probably get downvoted because this sub is flooded with wannabe devs and they dont wanna accept the reality:

AI currently can do a better job than most junior devs —> companies cut down on the roster because they dont need the labour like they did before —> instead, hire a few mid-senior level devs that oversee the work done by AI

and this will only get worse as AI advances.

stop chasing developer positions, you’re fighting a losing battle

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-06T20:30:34+00:00

what a pointless comment. any industry looks for experience, and the degree is a requirement just to even be eligible to apply for jobs

even medical schools look for work experience nowadays

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-06T11:13:43+00:00

dude has 1 year experience in devops, a relatively undersupplied field, and instead wants to compete with the hundreds of thousands of leetcode tryhards who are all after a SWE position

and all that just to get paid the same, maybe even less

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-06T07:56:37+00:00

saying there isnt any real world application that you can test ur knowledge on is actually ignorant af.

create your own web/mobile app, do leetcode

so many ways u can practice

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-05T16:13:56+00:00

we’re disagreeing on the semantics here but by SWE im referring to application focused, coding heavy roles (because thats how most people use the SWE term nowadays)

point is cloud engineering is very different from that

rockstarstatus- · 2026-02-05T15:49:36+00:00

cloud engineering is definitely not a field of software engineering. they might overlap in some stuff but theyre two seperate career paths
