I'm about to lose my job too. The job market looks terrible.
- jjtheblunt 1y agoDon't lose hope; I left grad school right before the first dotcom failures 25ish years ago. I think you'll find that when some novel technology erupts onto the scene, the job market goes through a shift of semi incoherence, that hits folks like us. but, it's temporary and can introduce a way more enthralling era of jobs.
- giantg2 1y agoI think between agism and ableism probably won't get another developer job.
- jjtheblunt 1y agoyeah you will; just think new learning adventure!
- giantg2 1y agoLearning isn't a problem. I can quickly learn many things including many certifications with <10 hours of study. None of that matters when it comes to getting a job.
- zzgo 1y agoI've been unemployed for months. In the last couple of weeks, I've been rejected for jobs as a pool cleaner, shelf stocker, and a state job requiring me to check multiple email accounts and watch security cameras. I've also recently been rejected as an overnight courier and software tester. Whatever you imagine the job market to be like, I assure you it's worse.
- octo888 1y agoShelf stacking requires psychometric tests, another online test, a group assessment, individual assessment then 3 hours of free labour on the shop floor for another assessment! What world are we living in
- giantg2 1y agoI assume will end up working at Walmart or something. I have a disability, so I think the market looks even worse to me.
- hopelite 1y agoI hope you have saving to draw on. It’s been very bad for folks AB’s it’s only going to get worse from here. I know people who don’t have to work so they have all but stopped even trying since they are just enjoying a kind of mid life retirement and working on whatever the heck they want to, including mental health and those projects they put on the back burner.
