I know the leftist in me is supposed to have sympathy for these people and get them to unionize. But only after I stop laughing and enjoying this moment. For years these fucks told the rest of us to “learn to code” and pretended like studying anything else at uni was a fucking waste of time.
GUESS WHAT FUCKERS. SO WAS CODING. Looks like we’ll be baristas together, only I’ll have three years of experience!!!
Current market is bad even for experienced developers, don’t expect it to recover fast. It first needs stop downsizing.
My first idea is to find someone who wants to (or has interest) to employ disabled person. In my country there are some incentives and people generally want to help out by hiring disabled.
Other option is casting a widder net. While tech companies are downsizing, economy is not bad. Try to find some close to IT job in non tech company where you can help them out and slowly grow.
I’ve been applying to IT jobs too but they’re also competitive as a lot of programmers are applying to them atm. But I’ll keep that up, thank you for your advice
what level of IT are you applying to? (for example helpdesk, technician, sysadmin, network engineer, etc.)
asking because I’m kind of thinking of switching from SWE to IT (I don’t like programming as much and arent as good at it as I expected when I started years ago) and I’m just curious whether even the lower levels roles like helpdesk are flooded
helpdesk and network engineer mostly but kinda just anything that pops up (which is most roles that have engineer in the title). i have experience in security engineering, which is close enough to a lot of IT stuff sorta kinda if you lie on your resume a little. helpdesk is the most flooded bc it has the least requirements i think, but i haven’t had any luck with the other ones either soooo i dunno
good luck finding a job that isn’t soul crushing comrade
