It's refreshing you're honest, but also frustrating to know that the reason you're employed is by choice when most other developers who are unemployed will do anything at this point to continue their career.
I did a full stack coding bootcamp do you have any advice about landing your first job. I have no experience in tech but I studied chemistry to degree level but became a logistics manager for years.
Same here. I keep wondering what brilliant candidates they decided to hire instead of me, but that is useless. Keep improving yourself, that's all we can do.
Dude, you absolutely crushed it! I’ve been sending out applications to various companies everywhere, but I keep facing rejections. I've got a glimmer of hope and I'm diving into applications, even while I'm rocking my role as a junior full stack developer at my current company!
@@namanhkapur Thanks! It really means a lot! By the way, I have a request! How about creating a video on web technologies, especially the ones that are in high demand right now?
i agree with the point that your vibe should match the interview panel, those humans are the ones you will be working with. i once gave an interview - where the guy taking an interview was at the same position - and he tricked me into a recursion question - but hired me as our vibes matched.
I am jealous of your resolve and ability to keep going. I was unemployed for a whole two months and felt like a fucking turd the entire time. I would like to start looking for the next thing but I feel so trash at this stuff especially for someone with 10 years experience.
Great video, Namanh! I watched your first video last year on how to become a software engineer and I have been learning since then. I have just started to look for a job as a web developer. Keep up the series of videos on how to find a job, they're awsome!
As u might know I am here since starting,just wanna say that ..keep up the hard work ,keep that hope and keep moving forward GL One day you'll get what u want.
As someone who has been on the hiring side. When it comes to system design interview, it's less about getting the most correct answer and its more about how you reason with your approach and how you communicate them. I wish you good luck with your job hunting journey!
I'm you from 2023! I just quit my job & I'm enjoying the time off. I'm going for my passions right now, mainly trying out youtube ( I just posted my first video ! ). I am putting out feelers but the job market is TOUGH
I was literally like you one year ago. Being all picky and “putting out feelers”. Now I am offering reach arounds in exchange for interviews at entry level roles 🤣
oh yeah, same here, the interviews that went really good, I get an rejection. But after the bad interviews, they invite me to the second or third interview (and then reject... xD) but hey, at least I get some practice.
Enjoying these series . Thank you for sharing as software engineer who's in the same position. This gives me hope plus am learning new things every time I watch your video. If it's not too much to ask from would you be in a position to help / mentor as I look for the SWE remote (As a challenge for developer who currently based in Africa ).
What is also less talked about and I have experienced the past year is how now that it's an employer's market again, existing employers know they can get away with treating their employees like shit.
If you have 3+ years of work ex, there are tons of jobs there. I just did basic changes and got 6 interviews this week. I was kicking myself for wasting all the time since Jan like a lab rat - you need to have a strategy, intensely try for 2 weeks, see the results and improve
I quit engineering around 8 years back to follow my passion in music and arts. Now if I wanna get back I'm not sure if big tech will consider my resume if I apply online. Would be great to see a video on getting hired after a (longish) break!
I cant even get a customer service rep job, I have sent multiple applications, and is not because im a bad employee or bad history is just when they answer tghey always tell me they moved with a differnt candidate! imagine!, im studying programming, if i cant even land a CSR job imagine a dev job, im cooked bro
The fact that your manager convinced you to stay just to let you go a few weeks later is criminal. I woulda posted a full linkedin post shaming theme and sued tf outta them.
So you had an offer for a job when you've been jobless for >6 months but rejected them because you didn't care for the equity structure? Why not accept and continue looking for jobs 😆
I think company should change hiring process, very new commer come to industry just copy and paste the project and applying for job, they created much competition, And also who joind in rush year like covid and they learn very little, but they also create competition , if you can't get job after giving 10-15 interview then it time you for take break and prepare well.
I recall few years ago when lots of post where like, "...I am being paid $110K blah blah...". Should I ask for more or am I being cheated. Now, reality has set in, & power has gone back to orgs.
severance. did you get 2 weeks of severance for every year you work for the company? so since you work for the company 3 years before you got laid off, you got 6 weeks of severance....am i correct?
Well good for you. I guess my company is going by what most company are doing out there. Yeah u can negotiate but at the end of the day, they can say no
This video is an emotional rollercoaster. First, when he says he's still unemployed I thought: if someone like him can't get a job, I am totally fu***d. But then, when he starts talking about the missed opportunities I feel relieve. Cause nobody's ever gonna reproach me that I used AI if I didn't do so because I am just not that good 😅. And I don't care about dream jobs. If it sounds about okaish, I am in for the job. Even better if it's a long-term arrangement 😃 Thanks for sharing your journey! This is content that should be rated ✅ entertaining, ✅ informative, and ✅ inspiring. Good luck finding your dream job!
I haven't watched the video yet, does it have to do with the yearly amount of illegal aliens and legal H1B visas? Like the ones Indians use to get higher paying jobs? I'm not from the U.S but I'm curious nonetheless.
is it worth going into the computing and IT degrees now ? im not too fussed on becoming a software D or engineer just anything tech related except for call customer service ones. is it mostly just software D & Engineers struggling to find jobs or is it the whole tech industry right now?. Originally i dropped out of my 2nd year illustration University degree because the job market where i live is basically none for where i live also i lost passion for the course and ive always been big into tech, currently looking to go into the field but also dont want to jump onto something that has no job at the end of it.
whole industry fucked you can check your local area listings to get a feel, but that isnt accurate because a posting might get 1000 applicants. I know someone that hires and she said they got 5000 applicants for the last job they posted. I have been applying for over a year to SE, IT and data jobs and nothing. you can get entry level IT jobs without a degree, helpdesk or a job that is essentially IT manual labor may still be possible to get. look into that if you are interested in IT and then get certs as needed.

Come to me openly, and not by stealth. Dagoth Ur welcomes you Nerevar, my old friend... but to this place where destiny is made, why have you come unprepared? Welcome, Moon-and-Star, to this place where YOUR destiny is made. What a fool you are, I'm a god! How can you kill a god? What a grand and intoxicating innocence! How could you be so naive? There is no escape, no recall or intervention can work in this place! Come! Lay down your weapons! It is not too late for my mercy...
Word of advice as someone who was in tech for 15 years and worked from a help desk role to a network engineer with credentials and a degree. Invest your salary! I’ve seen people get trained from much lower departments to take over network engineer roles, NOC positions and even cybersecurity. Tech is NOT a profession. A degree is NOT required nor are certifications. The company will hire and train a mentally ill homeless person if they can pay them 1/2 of what we warrant.
I'm already in the industry without a college degree, but it terrifies me to lose my job and not being able to find a new one because I don't have a degree. I might just go ahead and finish college.
