    As a career monkey, can confirm. A few things:
    1) I love that everybody is Wojak. Feels like a nice touch about feeling like a drone.
    2) It's my job as a hiring manager to get the best people at the lowest wage. Even whilst not recruiting, I have a yearly budget, and I pick who gets more money to some degree based on where it is most needed. If you are happy with your salary and don't show growth / ask for more, that's one less mouth to feed, so to speak.
    3) When you're asked what your expectations are, you should have some idea based on location / industry / job title / etc. I have in the past accepted lowball offers too, but you need to learn quickly as salary growth compounds. I like to say, "depends on the job requirements", because if you're not happy with the role / offer, they can be things you can offer to include to bridge gaps. If they are still reluctant, "I'm really convinced I'm worth x, and although I'd be happy to accept x -5% to start, once I pass my probation, can we agree on x" (get it written, obvs). Know your worth. Don't let me / hiring / HR / your manager take advantage of you, because we will.

      @unknowninfinium4353 2 года назад

      Does this work in Reality or is this some multiverse where HR or whatever it is preffered, suggested, mentioned; Actually does the recruiting?
      Also is this the 70s, 80s you talk about when there was economic boom and labour was demand based on the skill?
      I read a book called "Beauty Pays" which beautiful people will get jobs easier.
      Not to mention I even had an experience in a job hunt, walk-ins where i was with this W@hmen. My Resume was much much, far better clean, to the point and no fluff ( just as youHR would always suggest but somehow still overlook) than this W@hmen, after the interviews were done. The next day W@hmen calls me and said she got the job mind you her Resume had no effort and no achievements were stated and long paragraphs were written, she told me to make a new Resume. I asked her why what's wrong with hers and here is where I got my first sense of the real truth and not some BS HR would say; She told me they dint care about her resume but they asked to make a new resume and fabricate some false experience. Mind you she already lied in her original resume.
      At this point I wanted to see how it goes, I cleaned the CV used bullet points fabricated so much so that even the fake company name was a generic one which you can google, the fabricared experience was so overblown like as if she discovered gravity or was the CEO of google. So much fluff, so much false responsibility.
      Guess what, she got the job and a higher pay than advertised. She was sooooo happy.
      So take your HR advice and shov it right where Bogdanoff Dumps it.

I was definitely feeling that because the difficulty of getting an entry level engineering position. Its a difficult, difficult process.

    truth be told my company hired kids fresh out of school for junior marketing positions (we also required 2-3 years of experience) but we made a few eceptions due to their character and knowledge. We've also had marketers with 10+ years of experience but leave 6 months after.

      i know. but. look at reality. the corrupt government and companies are the main problem. not really the education itself. I know not all the times it happened. sometimes. when you get finished college degree whether you are in business, accountancy, engineering course , any related to biology and medicine. and you work successfully. after that of course you have pay school debt. if you exactly get what you expect. But even if you finished one of these courses and have a job. if your company would only pay you minimum, or even if you work on government and you also got pay minimum. due to corruptions. nothing will happened. you really need to do is to have business and job at the same time.
      but sometimes. i would rather choose a school that. you have to pay for tuition fees. at least somehow when you got finished on college. your only problem is to have job and if you got minimum wage salary. at least somehow you will pay nothing.

    I graduated from a top 20 business school with an 8th percentile GPA and I can’t even get a call back from the lowest “entry level” jobs. Now I’m a depressed stoner who’s going to run himself into the ground until I call it a night.

      yea the feeling is shared with lots of people bro. But don't blame yourself. This is our society, not you. You accomplished something on a personal level and for that you can be proud of yourself. Focus on what you can control!

      Was it your choice to graduate at that school or not?
      If it is I really feel bad for you
      If not and you were forced to do it by society or parents then you will be depressed even if you got that job, so it's better to follow your actual favourite jobs or live in a humble life.

    i was literally in the same position when starting off to find some software engineering jobs after i graduated from college (undergraduate). it was a nightmare and i applied to over 300+ companies throughout the years to varying position (from intern to fulltime). luck is still with me and i finally landed a fulltime software engineer job, but dear god was it a nightmarish process.. being mediocre sure has it's consequence.

    Don't work hard, be lazy, play video games and sponge every cent you can get from the state. Putting the effort in won't get you any further forward.

    Just a heads up, from my experience it's often HR that don't communicate properly with the other departments and start making stuff up or straight up copy paste from similar positions in other companies. If you see an entry level position with 3+ years experience, apply anyways.

    It’s funny jobs are looking for people to start but expect them to have experience. How can anybody gain experience if these jobs aren’t giving anybody a chance to gain any

    5:03 "Happiness at work" should be fighted and destroyed. 10 - 20 years ago people worked for the pay and the promotions. But they created "happiness at work", people humiliate themselves and because they are "happy" the companies doesn't need to give as much money as before. Hypocrisy increased.
    I say it again : refuse "happiness at work". They want your soul and make you a smiling slave at minimal wage.

    This makes me so happy I don't have student debt, and instead have a little savings. Were I to lose my current job, I could take up to a couple months to properly look for something that would be an upgrade from it. For many others though, I wish the government didn't stupidly declare college education as a "human right" 50 years ago, as that's what caused college tuition to shoot through the roof. If young adults weren't able to borrow 100k, college wouldn't cost 100k. But because of the government, they can. Let that sink in.

      Seems like a US problem. I just talked to my cousin's gf, she's like 20, and her debt was 25k for an undergrad. That's $CAD. And she lived on res. I paid 15k for my undergrad 13 years ago (no res life for me) so it seems like it's still in step following inflation.

      Does college actually cost that much in the US?? At the university I’m applying to in the UK it’s £7,500

      ​​@@user-ui7tn1fq2b7.5k? Universities in the UK charge 9.25k for bachelor degrees per year. So total is like 27k.

      Lol here in Czech republic education is completely free. High schools, colleges and universities as well. Can't even imagine living in the US.
