>-Oversaturated market, learntocode, let's be honest and say for 95% of companies, web devs are a commodity. I don't have an issue with people who are excited and want to learn coding, but the reality is the job market is over stuffed.
It's interesting you say that.
Based on one source [1] there is a 10% decrease in job outlook 2020-2030 for "computer programmers".
Another says [2] there is a 22% increase in job outlook 2020-2030 for "Software Developers, Quality Assurance Analysts, and Testers"
"Info Security Analyst" [3] shows a 33% increase in job outlook 2020-2030
Yet in another another... The annual projected job openings for software developer for 2018 - 2028 is 134,000. [4]
That's 1.34 million job openings over the course of those ten years.

- Tarucho 5y agoMaybe the poster is in another country. I live in a third world contry where most work is grunt off-shored work. Most positions here are for devs with 1-3 years of experience, and there are loads of them. If you are more experienced and want a good job you need to work remote with an overseas company.
