Just lost my job and it’s so depressing seeing stuff like this every single day. 400+ applications and you don’t even get a call anymore. Nothing from recruiters. When you do get an offer, its 20% lower pay than ever before, while cost of living goes up. So you have to engage in borderline indentured servitude just to eat and pay rent.
Same here. I’m so glad I got out of IT and software dev right now. I’m a refrigeration tech and my job isn’t going anywhere. As long as people need to make things cold or hot in my area then I have a job.
