Seriously contemplating if it is even worth applying in this type of job market. Being young, would it not be more beneficial to just contribute to Open Source projects in which my actual passion for the field comes from and additionally find outside work to just get by? I guess it all comes down to an individual's ambitions and goals in life, but seeing some of my colleagues and friends do nothing but apply to jobs for a straight year seems extremely unfulfilling (mind you this is a perspective of a new-grad in CS).
- InkCanon 2y agoI have similar thoughts. I'd say one big upshot of working in tech was they formed very high talent densities during their peak in the 2010s, so you could learn a lot. But now I'm not so sure. Plus it's a circus getting hired as a fresh grad. I'm largely thinking of masters or PhD - in the right place you get that talent density too.
