why is it so hard to get a job, why do they make it hard to literally get a job so you can feed into their system and make profit for them anyway. false sense of scarcity makes me so angry and interviews or applications always ask questions completely irrelevant and even after you get a college degree that just makes you have the ability to even apply to half the places. i get that you want the best person, because if you have to pay them a wage at all then they better work for it (get 4 part time jobs and live paycheck to paycheck), but seriously??
humans need to work, it is as natural as eating or sleeping, its such fucking bullshit that the bourgeoisie made working unbearable enough that the few people the government deems unfit to work obviously wouldn't, because working sucks, but then they are seen as lazy. sometimes i just want to go out and do some cyber-terrorism yk ? /j

    This is simply the concerted propaganda that programming is the profession of the future, and that there's tons of money to be made in it, starting to pay off for the companies that funded and pushed it.

    Or you could say the offer has started to reach a point of equilibrium with the high demand.

    It's hard in dev because we do have demand for good devs, but a huge oversupply of pseudo-devs with one month of coding bootcamp "training" who couldn't code their way out of a wet paper bag.

    @Fast-Nop I'm intrigued about how (literally) coding yourself out of a wet paper bag would look like.

    @saucyatom Depends on the programming language.

    HTML: <div id="wetpaperbag" hidden></div>

    CSS: #wetpaperbag{display:none}

    JS: document.getElementById("wetpaperbag").remove();

    Bash: rmdir wetpaperbag

    C: free(wetpaperbag); /*may instead drop your pants if you don't watch your pointers*/

    @iceb yeah but i am half way through a cybersecurity degree at the same time, my school ran out of math, sent me to college math, then that one ran out, and now im taking math from a college in baltimore (im in western MD), so i have to get a job to pay for classes because my school requires all four years to habe math (not just the credits), and my family is in medical debt anyway so i need to help out even though its not like i want to libe anywhere near them after i get out of high school

    and im going to go to a uni which means even more money, and i dont even have a drivers liscense, im in 11th grade.

    its just bs how i cant even get a job to pay for anything but i am required to anyway by the school

    @jestdotty yeah its the people telling them that that is the problem, im obviously not mad at the person doing the interview, im mad at the people at the top and the people who created this situation of the need for money to be able to live

    @violet-isle Maybe not enough bullshit in your applications? Besides your CV, you should have a cover letter that addresses two tailored questions.

    First, why would the company hire you, what do you bring to their specific table? You need to research what they are doing and how your skills fit in there.

    Second, why would you want to work there and not at some other place? That's where you need the most bullshit, of course.

    I take issue with what you say here -> "make profit for them anyway". Not every hire is good ROI for the company.
