Wow this highlights how brutal and vulnerable working in the tech space really is.
- gaius 11y agoBut... Everyone should learn to code!
- muzmath 11y agoNo one is arguing that everyone should learn to code to become a professional programmer, in the same way that no one is arguing everyone should become a mathematicians due to mandatory geometry class.
- JabavuAdams 11y agoDo you think it's better elsewhere?
- 20years 11y agoGood point. Probably not.
- thrway2busy 11y agoyeah I knkow - you might need to spend up to four weeks and go through, I shit you not, dozens of unpaid interviews - robbing you of 2 hours each, and not just once but often two or three times - before you get your next $80K-$140K job offer. The tech space is absolutely brutal. Nobody other than 90% of people would think this is a tenable lifestyle.
- 20years 11y agoHa! That is true I suppose if you are in the Bay area.
- shopinterest 11y agoIt all depends, tech/developer vs BD/Marketing - Have experienced the up/down too of the Bay Area, and sometimes it takes months to get back in the saddle. Everyone wants the perfect employee, ready to go, nothing to train, Knows all stacks, all systems, liked by all 6-8 people who interview him/her, asks for 10% less than market rate. Some companies want you to be an unicorn yourself, I've gone through stuff like: 'So you have years of mobile ad marketing and also years of online security service experience, years doing app marketing, already know our reporting and tracking systems, but you DONT have experience specific marketing on an online security app? Thanks for coming'
