I just got back into the market after taking a hiatus to write a novel (finished it, deleted it afterward cus I'm not proud of it) and work on my music,(more success but I'm not good enough to think I can make a career out of it).
There's a definite hiring slowdown due to current market circumstances and the fact that "Senior" really doesn't mean what it used to, so there's a lot more competition for those roles now.
I'm guessing it will be less bad 2nd quarter, but prolly not back to, erm, "normal".
- bhouston 4y agoShould release the novel anyhow.
- solarmist 4y agoSeriously, it might just feel like a failure because the organization or editing is off and another set of eyes could point it out.
- beckingz 4y agoI strongly recommend releasing it even if you don't think it's good. I wrote a book, and I don't think it's especially good, but I've gotten a lot of respect for having published it because people think it's hard.
- Yoric 4y ago> There's a definite hiring slowdown due to current market circumstances and the fact that "Senior" really doesn't mean what it used to, so there's a lot more competition for those roles now. What do you mean by "Senior" changing meaning?
- czbond 4y agoMeaning title inflation. Senior used to mean 5-8 years of experience. Principal or Staff 10-20. So now a lot of people that have experience sort into the bucket of Senior.
- Yoric 4y agoI wonder what I should write with my many years of experience. So far, I'll be content with "Tech Lead" and let recruiters ask me what it means in my org. This is a nice conversation prompt.
