I have graduated on july 2023, still looking for a job. It's driving me crazy. I barely get responses or any opportunity. Really sucks

Idk about your country but in mine also is hard as fuck to get junior backend jobs, last year I had 1 year exp and had a lot of oportunities, this year with 2 years of exp I m searching for a new company and had only stupid conversations with even more retarded HR teens.

@@zedibsyou might have to start working for someone for free to build a resume of projects. I got a startup to give me a chance on angel list. It was like a Facebook for dogs and it failed but that experience got me out of the “no professional experience” zone

They need atleast 3-5 year experience Someone ask for 6-8 year

@@DProgram-xb9pp The years of experience they are asking for are already crazy enough, then you find some offers that clearly says they are looking for a junior frontend, but when you read the requirements, you realize they are looking for a junior frontend with 6-8 in backend. It's like they want to hire people to do two different jobs and pay for the least costly

Pretty accurate.

Idk, seems like there's a lot of low tier ("self taught"front end) web devs who make me feel like Einstein.

I am so sorry man. I hope that the next thing works and who knows, maybe in a few years you can try again.

You have done the right thing.

​@@illidan10Why?

@ilidan10 And what would advice someone to learn in IT generally instead of web development so it's easier to be be hired as a junior?

@patrykorowski4141What are you going to learn? Do you have any ideas?

But the thig is that what if after trying 500 times also I am not hired...

hi can i see your portfolio?

I always get rejected because I don't have experience, I work as a freelance. now I'm 30 and I felt I can't find jobs anymore when they ask for experience all i can give was my freelancing and they don't want that.

@@_hudeifa23 I am from India, here people had made education business which has large cost like 12000-13000 $ for a computer Science degree. I am in my 4th year of college and still struggling to get a job. I got my first internship through an offcampus hackathon. Carrer in this field depends on lot of hard work initially , later on with experience it may become easy to get a job.

​@@_hudeifa23 businesses are always better, but it really depends on how you handle it and how high it will get. Once you reached stability (having loyal customers, strong industry, and good niche) you won't go down fast, unless another pandemic hit.

Now iam wondering why tf I took this CS coure at uni iam about to graduate and the future seems dull.

This is me lol😂

Wow ❤ such a great life .

Holy s... Sounds like a dream job to me.

How are you getting a free apartment?

You are blessed. Good for you!

That's pretty awesome. Congratulations! ⭐

This is my biggest struggle. I wake up at 4:30 (give myself time to wake up, starting stuff at 5) for skill work and personal projects before my day job starts at around 8. I have two kids who get up between 7:15 and 7:45 so I get maximum 2.5 hours per day normally. Just making commits to my GitHub religiously and applying whenever I have free time in the evening. I’m lucky to have a super lenient job. Something tells me that something will break at some point. I mean… you get out what you put into it, right?

@@tjcoledrumming5903 I don't know what to say bro. I'm nowhere as dedicated as you. I hope you get to work in whatever you're interested in. Keep grinding!

@@tjcoledrumming5903 Same here, except i put my 2/3 hours in the evening and most of my day in the weekends. My current job is physically intensive and it's simply impossible to go there sleepy as hell

Yeah, I believe upskilling while working a sustenance, blue-collar job is only possible for someone single and not a family breadwinner assuming their sustenance job doesn't take too much time so they still have enough time to upskill through self-study.

same here man. They never taught anything good and their DSA was bad. And full stack in my college started in last sem of 3rd year which is such a less time. I mean college sucks for real.

If you were able to learn new skills with the knowledge you got, then the uni did a good job.

Nothing compares to real projects, coding a full app for example going through the process you learn more from it than all those years of school :), this is why most quit when doing tutorials...

actually true@@fwdflashwebdesign

Worked with a guy who had just graduated with a masters. Couldn't write a for-loop to save his life.

web dev is contruction ... of digital estates.

Construction is a terrible industry too. You're always competing for the bottom. Probably the quickest industry to get a job without much experience would be machine operating like CNC. And there are some carry over skills from computer programming. But you also need to be strong and work long hours...

Yeah same here. I literally got annoyed at how many recruiters would hit me up.

It was the same for me around 2020, there was at least one recruiter in my inbox every week

it's not better to go into construction. i've just quit my construction job in germany and i don't care what else i'll be doing but i believe everything else is better. I thought it would be only hard on the body so i could study something else on the side but hell no, i was completely wrong, it's hard on the body, mentally and also extremely stressful because of constant deadlines. Let's not talk about the environment which is populated by very low IQ individuals who scream and shout and just bring chaos. Never go in construction, whatever you do is better than that, construction is the last resort when you failed everything and don't want to starve.

Do not give up. Watch the video and find your way.

Well AI will take over soon so more bad news...

@@fwdflashwebdesign I'm also learning programming. Unfortunately, I discovered this interest too late. I definitely attribute this to the school system of my youth. I'm not kidding myself, it's going to be difficult to find a job. I am therefore planning to set up a web project first that I can grow into and with which I can advertise. Because it has never been as easy as it is today. I already use Ki myself, e.g. for data collection, etc. We as developers have to stick with it. I think patience is the way, there is no guarantee that it will work. It should also be fun...

It's almost pure luck situation.

Please stop moaning. You heard what he said go meet and greet, and talk about all you know. Try and get leads. Get a business card to hand out and make connect. They tell you there is a whole universe of that going on at LinkedIn. But you have to study to know how to work that system, or maybe you just do it. You have to try first. Just coming out of school you mustn’t be discouraged before you even graduate. You're portfolio ready to go? Refreshing your knowledge daily? Then now it's time to sell. Sell what? Sell you. You can do it. I never had a problem with positivity, but last night there is a whole of positivity adjustment that show that people need to adjust themselves to be positive. It's like everything else you learn, learn to be positive. Google it, AI it, ChatGPT it, you are AI and ML literate aren’t you? You weren't exactly detailed in your initial information. That is the big thing now. AI for high tech companies is going to be like the high school diploma once was. I’m reading that although some jobs are being replaced they still need people and these people will need to how to use the GPTs. It's the thought just crossed my mind, you said you been studying for three years in IT? Dude, you just getting started. Suggestion if you can get an MA do that, at least if you can't get a job you can teach while you search, and maybe write a book or two. OK, keep your chin and keep that nose to the grindstone.

What do you mean you started on your own? :) Congrats btw!

@@djinstinct8866 Yah, the greatest decision. Many companies r calling me they r looking for a junior dev. and they offers me like 1.5K salary. Im way more higher then 1.5 just this week

@@djinstinct8866 freelancing something like that i believe

Did you start your own business in 2023?

How to be self employed ?

Its over, AI is taking over soon!

How is freelance, what skills you need for freelancing in web development

Where do you get freelance gigs?

On which technology do you work?

Feeling really sad for you :(

Looks like skill issue

Or level up in a different field of the industry where market is in better shape, especially if you are new, don't really enjoy programming and it's just a career path for you. And I have to wonder, if everybody just wants to get a job, who is gonna create jobs?

You're right, so much is being said about Sof'Engineering but we all know its the future till full-blown ai takes over the development itself...

or if you think you skilled enough start you own thing. Start small and build up if you have that know how.

hehe, that's how markets work. After covid when everyone wanted to buy a house the prices went up, now when not many people are buying the prices dropped a bit then stagnated. Same with women that go on online dating apps and get 1000 matches. All of a sudden their expectations rise and demand more from the potential candidates :P

I just want to land a damn interview as a 6 years of experience dev

@@randerins are the 4 years of the university included in the years of experience? i am confused about that

Nope​@@_hudeifa23

Same here, I was told Web development was the future and getting a job was the easiest thing. So I went to college for 5 years, I made projects, took online courses, even got a certificate and when I finally graduated, there weren't any jobs anymore. It's even funny how in just a few years it passed from being "the most secure field" to an oversaturated market. Sorry if I typed mistakes, I'm trying to learn English

Hardly any competition?! You and the other 1 billion indians in this world.

Contracting is more lucrative than permanent roles where I'm at

exccept no one is hiring junior contractors

where would you find these kinds of jobs? any keywords to search?

That's exactly how I got my current job.

Seniors have it weirdly difficult to land a new job too. Either companies consider you too "arrogant" because you know all frameworks they're using, or not experienced enough because you haven't used ONE of these random frameworks, and when everything fits they revert what was offered in their job description. I applied because working remotely was a possibility and put my address on my application, I can't travel across half the country once a week because "everyone" has to come into the office and nobody will lol. Also in terms of juniors, many newbies I got to know were more open to improve and learn new skills compared to older colleagues or colleagues of my own age. Sure, they needed the time to learn a new framework, but unlike experienced developers they actually read the documentation and did their work according to how it was documented, rather than doing shit that actively makes the project for everyone else more difficult.

​@@LupoTosk96It's weird that seniors have difficulty finding new jobs. It doesn't make sense. The way the employers think is weird. It looks like they take it personally and try to look for anything bad if you are a senior. But when it comes to juniors "you're not experienced" it sounds like they don't want to hire at all and come up with excuses no matter how experienced the applicant is.

@@wassupbaby8634It's not weird at all. Employers have all the leverage in the current market. For seniors, they are very expensive so employers are extremely conservative and picky, often to their own detriment, lest they hire the "wrong" person and not get their money's worth. As for juniors, they're seen as a cheap labor force you can be picky as much as you want with due to the high supply of candidates. You also tend to hire them in periods of business expansion. Given the currently rocky economy, all the companies are going into cost-savings mode and cutting back on any expansions. As a result, the junior position is toast until the company feels the economy is less rocky.

это правда, так в любой (или практически любой) области сейчас, да и в целом так практически всегда и было

I have bed news to you, at least in EU to be certified electrician all you have to do is 6 months course. You absolutely don't need any degree.

This literally just happened to me in an interview :( ... CI/CD, performance testing, Kubernetes, and required at least 2 years with Spring Boot (all of these were listed on the posting as " bonuses: good if you have heard of these techs". The interviewer was awesome and did send me feedback after the interview, rather than ghosting. But ya, brutal. It's an internship but I felt like I was interviewing to be an autonomous intermediate dev at the very least. I legit was shook 15 minutes into the questions and was trying to hard not to physically cringe the entire way back to my apartment afterward.

You don't mean it do you! everyone? think about it. We are a LOT more than enough.

Hi, I'd love to talk to you some more about this. How can I contact you?

Change continent brother. In Europe, it is a little bit hard for entry levels, but for seniors is easy mode.

@@ArisAris-fs1ip not true

@@sewerynwozniak3417 if you are truly good in europe, once you get the interview and create a perfect assignment (adding your own features as well) explaining everything in the technical interview after, and answering perfect all the other technical quedtions, you will most possibly get the job. Happened to me, yet i was practising for 2 years straight 6-7 hours a day consistently to get the entry level job. Now with 1 year of experience i get inboxes on linkedin for interviews.

@@ArisAris-fs1ip It's almost impossible in Europe as well. Every job posting has like 500 candidates, you're extremely lucky if anyone even notices you applied. You get ghosted 90% of time. Of the other 10% you get 1% interviews and you get rejected for reasons like "bad alias": import localStorage from "@react-native-community/async-storage"

@@ArisAris-fs1ip everywhere around the world situation is the same

india ??

Seriously? This spells doom for a lot of incoming graduates since they can't get senior experience without going junior first.

Where do you live?

really? every single job opening i see is for senior level. But then again, almost all those postings are fake

same here

In a lot of cases a CS or tech degree is required so your resume can get through HR's filters because they get a lot of applicants for that job so the degree is an easy way for HR to weed out people

@@mrbobbilly Yep, exactly.

Yea I'm working in IT (not Software) and all new hires, without single exception have a STEM degree. Just getting past the HR filter alone, a degree is needed. I went in state and commuted from home so I went to school for very cheap. A degree doesn't have to be expensive but everyone in their mother wants to go to fancy private schools

it's by design, to keep the slaves' ego in check and remember who's the boss ;)

AI writes code so fast, you only need 1/10th the number of developers you used to need.

@@FreeEasyAI have you used AI to write code? its mostly shit. The start code is ok to good but thats it.

@@Essey209 Maybe you're asking it to write too much code at once. I just do it in chunks. But if you have an example where your code is better than what AI wrote, I'd like to see it.

How I feel too. I decided if I get laid off is to bootstrap my own company. Fuck 'the man'

Yea I started in 2020 and it was a gold mine back then. I imagine it will never be like that again

@@daveisdeadwe are lucky because if there comes a time where we have to find a new job, we will already probably have 5+ years of experience. I guess that all the bootcamps promising amazing money for just a week of learning fooled many people into thinking they can have an easy ride, and the result is that no one can find a job now...

I did that. I had a phone interview with a DoD compamy and was told just FYI we will take anyone who has an active clearance over anyone who doesnt. I dont have one. I never heard back. This was Janurary 2nd. I was rejected by another DoD company back in August because I didnt do too well on a Hacker Rank test with this logical/reasoning portion of the test askin how long does it take for Bob to fill his pool with a water hose. goofy shit like that. I got a 0% but the coding stuff i got 100%

Same here, if govt jobs are interested, it would make sense to hire and have them vetted and pay for their background checks to obtain clearance

I prefer to NOT depend on the government for my food. In my eyes you’re no different than the couch potato collecting unemployment. Congrats. And most of the people here watching this channel prefer to get hired for their skill; NOT because they don’t smoke weed and can pass a Background check. But to each their own..

@@clemonsLA 🤣🤣🤣

@@clemonsLAAre you braindead?

Nobody really remembers everything they've done in their career. I don't have dyslexia and I forget most of the stuff I've done in my 5 year experience. It's just important to know that you have done certain thing and then just find a way to do it again. You know it's possible because you've done it and maybe whenever you face the same problem you just start connecting some things to what you've done.

I have a pretty bad social anxiety and panic easily, forgetting everything I know. I’ve been learning web development and the interview part scares me so much!

@@Orgrimmar21 All true statements. :D

@@Aliena92 My advice is to network and ask professionals/associates to do mock interviews. Whatever you do is don't give up. It's not a matter of if you will find your dream job. It's just a matter of when. So keep going until you do. One of the best ways to learn is to teach a friend or pretend you're teaching to someone else. I can't tell you how many times my wife walks by my office and ask's "What?" I have to explain I am talking to my imaginary student. haha

Either pick a project , know thier tech stack , learn only fundamentals of that ,don't learn everything this is important , start using the project , know what exactly it is trying to do , read the documentation , slowly understand the codebase ,you don't need to go through every file or folder that's impossible , if they have a discord , then join and ask some good questions , pick up some good first issues if available if not just go through them and pick the one you atleast understood what it's all about . And this takes a lot of time

What project to pick up is completely upto you

this can be said about a lot of jobs in the US.

You are correct. I guess this is because of the trend of learn webdev, cyber security, etc. and get paid instantly. Us computer engineers and computer scientists are suffering due to this. It is sad and frustrating
