@mawr@plush.city Tech is dead at the moment, no company hire juniors anymore. Same in Europe here too.

@mawr@plush.city Thinking about pivoting to something else because at this point even though I have 5 years of experience I don't think I will make it into a job.

@mawr@plush.city Yep. There are way, way more unemployed tech people than there are jobs available in big #tech companies or big companies with tech departments. Laid off folks need a day job for the time being, while forming small companies to replace the enshittified big tech software with desktop, AI free, alternatives. Some of us remember why we *ran* to PCs away from central servers (the cloud). Now you kids get to experience having your data held hostage & forced "downgrades." Offer better.

@mawr@plush.city Yeah.. Sadly, I'm not hoping for much better than my IT Support position for quite a while.. Not gonna complain though as I do L2 work which doesn't involve speaking to normal end users very often..I'm thankful for it at this moment..

@mawr@plush.city i imagine the 2020 dip is the pandemic, meteoric rise in 2022 is due to ai shit being actively developed, 2025 falloff is due to collective abandonment as the result of the ai shit. but i could be wrong

@mawr@plush.city It’s absolutely awful out there and the difficulty of connecting with people hiring has also never been worse.

@mawr@plush.city I think there's something wrong with the scale, it claims it's in "thousands of jobs", but tops at 400k. So that's 400k thousands of jobs, which would be 400 Million jobs... that seems excessive compared to the population of the US.
