Is the junior job shortage just a valley bubble thing? I'm a young dev and there are grad/entry level positions everywhere I look, none of my peers have really had issues either.
How good (or bad) companies are at actually training their employees is another matter.

- Apocryphon 9y agoWell, where are you based at?
- broodbucket 9y agoAustralia & haven't heard of junior shortages anywhere around the country, I would hazard a guess that this applies to most places that aren't this overinflated Mecca of programmers
- tslothrop 9y agoThat's weird, I'm in Sydney and last year I sent around more than 100 resumes over the span of 6 months, only to land an intern position in a terrible "startup like" company, where I was underpaid and overworked. I had to quit after burning out in a few months. I know of several other juniors with this same issue.
- sumedh 9y ago100 applications with almost no luck sounds really bad but there is a possibility you are missing something in your resume. I work in Melbourne, if you want email me your resume and I will take a look to make sure you are not missing something basic.
- tslothrop 9y agoThanks for the offer, I appreciate it. I had my resume looked over at Reddit and by other industry professionals, it was just lacking working experience and qualifications (I graduated from TAFE, not uni). I'm not looking anymore, now, as I got a much better job, although not development related (which was, anyway, what I wanted, after burning out).
