Modern job interview culture is so fucking dumb. I'm hearing from Zoomers that they now expect you to do a video interview at home with an AI agent before they even grant you the opportunity to sit down with the royal highness the HR lady. Fucking crazy, man.
@dove_of_babylon I was thinking of a postgraduate MD but the length of training is so scary...
For people just wanting any job atm I'd say our field techs make good money, around 100k starting with no exp, but you have to be away from home a lot and there's not much career progression
My parents genuinely can't figure out why I'm unhappy with the state of society because I have a decent job. Every day I have to go on the LinkedIn hellscape and see my friends suffering in job market/layoff/inflation hell. Truly a mystery.
@dove_of_babylon@Jebriel It definitely got fucked, I was getting paid internships in 2022 & 2023 by asking nicely. My current payrate is $2/hr more than those internships, same industry.
@dove_of_babylon And the goalposts are always moving, whatever you switch to will probably be axed at some point. Remember during covid when the response to people being laid off was "you should have learned to code lol"?
@dove_of_babylon My partner is also a software engineer with ~6 years exp, he's trying to become more of a project manager to hold on but he says if he loses his current job, he's done with software eng
@dove_of_babylon I'm a geologist working in resources and at the moment with commodity prices booming I'm getting, at most, a few pre-recorded "video interviews" that take an hour to complete and then I never hear back
You can't even outsource these FIFO type jobs so wtaf is happening! ๐คฃ
I still apply to grad jobs just in case I ever lose mine and I get rejected daily with an elite master's degree +two internships+ actively working in my profession lmfao
getting constant rejection emails from job applications where they ask for 3-5+ years experience when i have 8
it's just bullshit, all of it
literally what the fuck is happening
@Daistis The real gen z strat at my workplace is we all just work part time because nobody can afford the mortgages and kids etc that necessitate a full time income anyway , and career progression within one company is pretty much dead.Might as well chill if you can live on the part time

@SluaghAgTeacht@Telegraph I did stem (master's level) and left the uk because there were barely any jobs and the ones that were available paid half what other countries were paying! I would have stayed if it was possible
@Daistis As in I had pain all over my jaw randomly but removing all 4 wisdoms fixed it
You just gotta go to the dentist and remove the bad ones and look after the remaining ones
