There's a reason many developers leave the industry at any chance they get to become content creators or online course instructors. Just saying, don't take everything they say as truth.

As a Junior I keep seeing how market saturation is against me. Between the market changing and the leetcode challenges I suspect things will only get harder. I'm focusing on building stuff and leetcode grinding until I get something. I'm praying that I could find something soon.

React is usually for startups, so if you want to find a job fast go for react and node.I have noticed that the majority of the developers wanted are for small companies that start fast with react. If you want big corporations, learn Angular.

I appreciate this a lot. I started my journey into front-end about a year ago and have had to restart twice now, and it sucks when the algorithm picks up on that and decides to start sending me content of people talking about how juniors are pretty much screwed for the foreseeable future. The thing is, for a lot of us, getting into tech is our way out of poverty. I may want a high paying job within a few years, but more than that I want to gain high value skills that will lift me out of these circumstances for good as long as I stick to it. I just need to know that I can have a stable future 10 years down the line and not have to switch careers again knowing I sunk so much time into a dying profession. I know the economy is shot right now and I feel for everyone who is job-ready but isn’t having any luck, but we need more optimistic, long-term outlooks like this.

I just retired after a tech career beginning in 1976. I began as an Electronices Technician, it paid $10/hr then. I became a Systems Administrator in 1982, Initially it didn't pay much more, but I rode that train until 2003, making up to 85K when I became a Cyber Security Engineer. I rode that until 2023, maxing out at 170k. I have only a 2 year degree, but I found that the industry loves certifications! It began with a Novell CNE, some Microsoft certs and finished up with a pile of Cyber security certifications CISSP, CCSP, CEH, CRISC, CISA, CRISC, CDPSE. I got to move about as I desired, and traveled overseas several times as well.

[ghaleon]

I was about to start trying to learn code in order to get out of my crappy retail job. Was actually excited about the prospect and the idea of making at least double what I do now out the gate. But all I see online, including the comments here, is how the tech jobs aren't there, how junior devs won't get jobs, how it's essentially pointless to even bother learning code now as the market is so oversaturated that there's never going to be a need for junior devs again within the next 5-10 years. It's honestly super depressing and makes me worried that I'll only ever be in retail and be stuck living paycheck to paycheck. Guess I'll just have to learn to make peace with my situation as trying to better myself and break into this industry is futile from what everyone is saying.

Once you realize AI works via probabilities, you'll no longer fear it.

"It" does not understand anything. It simply takes inputs and gives you the most likely, or probable, output.

Thisnis oversimplification but its the gist

[RubbingPotatoes]

The problem is finding the few jobs that will hire entry level candidate with 0-1 years of experience, and then competing with the 200 - 400 applicants that have applied. The market of candidates is oversaturated. There are also people in Ghana and other third world countries learning to create web pages that will do it for free so you really need to be the best among your class.

You just made me more motivated with how i learn coding right now. Thank you so much

[Alex-xibw]

If this is true then why do I hear so much doom and gloom from everyone about CS being over saturated? Every day I see another post on Reddit about a new cs grad applying to hundreds of jobs and getting nothing

[utkarsh]

I have learned c, html, css and I was going to leave coding because of ai but my big brother (Software engineer Make my trip) guided me continue to code these all are non senses but your video not only motivate me but also gain my respect💯❤ from India

[Emanuel-ybqk]

1:27 that doctor is teacher, chef, musician, carpenter and due to the trend jobs, is likely he becomes into a machine electrical cloud senior engineer 👨🏻‍💻. A truly example to take into consideration!

[amirhasansafizade]

Thank you Jake. I was really worried about the future of my career. You restore my hope. KEEP F***ING CODING :D

[sociologie]

6 hours bro! wow! You worked so hard, bro!

[MyCodingDiary]

You are doing such an excellent job, keep up the great work!♥

[Castiel_]

Remember guys this job outlook came before the advancement of ai. Something I’m sure they were not factoring that time. I’m sure the prediction is off some.

[joehunterdev]

I'm self-taught. It's very hard to get a job without professional experience in this market now.
