I live in an “information bubble”… And I hope that we all know that so does everyone else. It’s bad, though it’s unavoidable nowadays, I think. What have I heard for the past couple years – both online and in person – is that the job market is really bad, especially for people with little to no experience. It’s not exclusively personal, as I got the same feedback from people I met at work (interviewed) and students I worked with. The former had horror stories of being let go because some “coding machine with 10 15 years of experience” agreed to a salary lower than their learning budget. The latter have had to go through seven interviews just to get an unpaid (!) internship at Big Corp. I had it easier, really. Today, I’m in charge of hiring for the technical positions at aleno, and can at least try to make it better. We are a small company, so it’s only a handful of people every now and then.
