Is the job market just as bad for juniors, people looking to enter the field right now?
- chamomeal 2y agoIt’s always hard for juniors, but it’s always possible as well. IMO job boards are almost entirely useless. Going to meetups and making friends in open source communities is the way to go.
- bloqs 2y agoI have found that this is the case for really good people, but if you dont have a degree and dont have much experience or expertise yet then this is a great way to totally destroy your confidence
- DirkH 2y agoIt is way worse for juniors now. There was a time where merely reading CtCI printed your job offer at Google right out of school.
- ghaff 2y agoProbably worse from what I understand. Seniors are more specialized but also (hopefully) have a network.
- throwaway173738 2y agoMost likely. I was seeing people with a few years experience willing to accept a fairly junior role. As a result we passed on some people that I would’ve hired and trained in years past.
- StefanBatory 2y agoI'm a junior; even getting internship in my city was impossible. And it's a requirement to graduate. I had many of my peers pay people for signing off that they had an "internship" at some companies.
