Trying to get hired as a junior frontend developer in 2023-2024 is the most insufferable thing I've done in my life.

The market is getting even worse now. Every other developer I asked for guidance said the same thing "accept whatever job comes your way" .

[patrykorowski]

After 14 months of learning, I give up. Now, I'm looking for something else to learn to change my terrible job for something acceptable. Good luck to all of you folks!

I applied for web dev Internships, and worked off to build a portfolio before getting a simple "Internship".
Yes, I was rejected 500 times before I was hired

Bro I have 5 years of professional front end experience, some of the time at a pretty big, reputable company. I just got laid off and I can't even get a damn Junior job. It's INSANE.

Thank you for enlightening us about the job market.
It is very frustrating to listen to people criticizing juniors dev for not doing more and expecting to land a job. We are trying very hard

I went back to cooking, making avg web developer salary with no stress in germanic part of EU. Still code for myself and looking oportunities to create something and make money but I do not believe I will apply for any job interviews.

To get cooking job I literally just send email, one email and I get avg web dev salary, free apartman(meaning I have no expenses) and no stress. I drink coffee, eat cakes and do my job while talking about games and politics with pastry chef who is great college, and I doubt any programmer is on job less than 48h a week.
Life without stress, with good sleep and a lot of free time.

I is possible even outside IT.

How to be attractive?
Be senior developer.
Take money like junior developer.
Excellent tip.

the funny part is that 4 years at uni taught me less than 5% of the skills i need so i'd had to fight to learn everything by myself after graduation

I remember 2018, I was spammed with recruiters. Nowdays, its just better to go into construction lol

I think one of the main challenges is to survive the time period between losing your job and getting a new one. This is especially difficult if you're the only bread-winner in the family. You can upskill during that time but then you'll have to spend more time on it and won't be able to do another job for sustenance (like a blue collar job). On the other hand, if you focus doing your sustenance job, then you'll be able to spend less time on your upskilling, and the more you're away from the industry, the more difficult will it be to enter again.

Dude, your channel is by far the most helpful and informative YouTube has to offer. You are a godsend, my guy

[peasantlord]

I was forced to use connections to get an unpaid internship in university, and I had a good coding background.

As someone who will be graduating this year in IT, watching todays job market makes me feel suciadal. Knowing that no matter how good I am, and no matter what I've learned this past 4 years, I'm no competion to someone who knows someone. This really bites me especially since for three years of my studies, all of our lectures and laboratories were remote.

[vojtechkochta]

3yrs ago i started with web development. for 2 yrs i wasn't able to get job. 2023 was game changer. I started web development on my own. My salary is twice bigger than average junior salary and i can always laugh loudly when HR calls me after 2 years if i'm still interested get their underpaid job.

[yajirushik]

'Land more jobs' *sigh*... I just want one..

[yonathanhailemelekot]

you are a bro that every developer needs

[uuuummm]

Finally! I was writing about this problem since fall 2023 and everyone else was like "no, all is cool, join our dev training".
