The bar can get very low! Look into local low prestige consulting companies if you’re really desperate for something. I worked at one after moving to the US and the hiring bar was extremely low and I was working there a few days later
- johnchristopher 4y agoI am not sure this apply to western EU thought. N=1 but I had a long dry spell even though I work IT. I think it's like for successful startups: luck, luck and luck. edit: And for having been on the hiring side a bit: I know luck's involved, more than people think or - worse - than they want to admit.
- cjaro 4y agoI agree. I was hired over a year ago to a similar place that's since been acquired by a Big IT Consulting Company. One benefit of that situation is that a) I can kinda just blend in and do my job quietly without attracting much notice, and b) the hiring bar was insanely low, the easiest interview-to-offer pipeline I have ever fallen through. I'm not planning to stay forever, but they're paying my bills and giving me work so for now, I'm content to stick it out, maybe through the end of next year even.
