Applying to tech jobs in 2023 be like... 

yo i'm back, done with interviews. more vids coming:) ty to everyone who sent me an email offering to help from my last video ❤ ----- shoutout to www.squarespace.com/fryingpan for sponsoring this video secret link 👀: www.ndex.gg

"Uber (driver) - Rejected" got me dying💀

The struggle is so real ..... 😅 Going through the same stuff .......

The mouse smashing all throughout is *chef’s kiss* 😂

The chatgpt copy and paste is 100%😂

I READ MIKE HAWK SO LOUD WTF

Are you me?

Whenever I see the question "Why do you want to work at X company" on a job form I just want to write in "Because I don't want to fucking starve, thanks."

The ChatGPT copy and paste was so relatable lmaooo

300 applications, many interviews and final rounds later.... Waitlisted. Feels like applying to college all over again XD

No joke, I legit got a job with one of Apple's contracting companies, and filled out all of the onboarding paperwork which took days and literally ten minutes after I got the email saying welcome to the team, I got another email saying they did some "restructuring" and they had to revoke the job... *after* I was already an employee

I've got laid off after 6 months, I was working as a Python Backend Developer. I know the struggle. I've been interviewing since the middle of January and it's pain.

if frying pan cant even get a job were all screwed

*The moment you realise that some other candidate managed to write a query to point the load balancer to React.*

Damn you're a CEO now.. you guys hiring? (asking for a friend 👀)

I'm a third year cs student, I used to be super passionate about learning software and different languages and was so confident I'd be able to land a good job. Then covid happened, the layoffs happened, depression came back in full swing, and it just feels like there's no point to any of it anymore honestly

This isn't accurate at ALL smh Everyone knows "You'll hear back from us soon." is employer code for "You'll never hear from us ever again."

Well as someone trying to get into this market right now, I'm terrified and feel very uneasy about my future. Sick

Lies from 2019: "Get a degree in CS, theres not enough tech workers to meet the demand" Reality: "We hired too many of tech workers"

I relate to this. I interviewed for an internship last week and pretty much answered everything and still got rejected!🤣

I landed 1 job after 600 applications, and quit a few months in due to a sociopath in the office. I have 2 diplomas and am a Cambridge graduate. I do not understand this market.

the final interview rejected thing literally just happened with me 😢 I was so mad and depressed but this video made me feel better

“Tough times don’t last. Tough people do.” -Faded 1990s Taekwondo billboard in my neighborhood

I am just finishing my master degree. And I have been applying all over, thinking it would be piece of cake since I have excellent grades and some internships at good companies. Then you go out and during interviews it really feels like they are not trying to find reasons why you would fit the job, but rather try to find things that disqualify you. Or how you are not experienced enough or we found someone more experienced when it's for a fucking junior position with 0 years of experience. But the most bullshit reasons for me are when you talk to people working there and asked them why they chose this company or this role blabla. And you think yeh I agree, so during the interview you use them. And then later you get a call, yeh we did not like your answer to those questions.

Tech is oversatured at the bottom end (bootcamps, this "lern2code" and "cybersecuritee" stuff) and companies are having to cull even experienced hires. It's looking a bit bleak. I've seen some people laid off whose talent blew me away. They're unemployed.

Remember when everyone and their mothers said to learn to code and that the market needed thousands of employees? Yeah, that was a lie...

I know multiple guys with FAANG internships and still no new grad offers. Chin up guys, it’ll all work out in the end. Just keep pushing.

I can relate to all this. My whole team got laid off recently and all my colleagues mentioned how no one is hiring or is having layoffs. The ones that interviewed recently told me that the interviews are much harder than before. So much uncertainty now. I just want to give up this year and wait till this tech job market recovers. I think it's useless to try now. Might as well take a break.

this ndex company seems great hopefully they change idea and hire you!

Man, at least you get interviewed, i had applied like to 70 companies this month and heard nothing from not even one.

Someone tells you get a job . You show them the list of the 1000 jobs you applied to and got rejected from just this week even though you qualifications should've guaranteed a spot at atleast one of them .

Heartbreaks is when companies post entry level jobs but expect +8 years of corporate experience 💀 It’s somehow a little less hard to digest when companies say “we’ve stopped hiring for that role” instead of saying “we’ve decided to move on with other candidates” for some reason. Oh yeah making it till the last round on an interview you thought went well and still getting rejected is literally hell.

Lol even got the detail of the interviewer not having their camera on

500 apps 😂 10% response rate, 3 interviews, 1 final that I did very well and yet still got rejected. Guess even having experience ain’t shit now

This all happened to me, including doing well on every interview and getting rejected, making it to the final round only for it be cancelled without notifying me (empty zoom call…), and making it past multiple rounds to get to an on-site, getting it cancelled due to layoffs, and then reapplying when they opened that exact same role again and getting auto rejected in under two hours 🙃

I have been working in IT for 18 years, have a bunch of recent certs from Cloud to Cyber security and I'm still getting a bunch of rejections. Was told last week from one interview my experience was too broad.... Well yeah!?!?? I have been working in IT for nearly 2 decades! Then we hear the usual BS "we can't find anyone in IT" or "There is an IT skill shortage" and we have a bunch of IT workers being rejected for the most basic roles. I'm sure companies are just making up the rules as they go along.

Saw a job posting for an entry level position with a requirement for 7 years experience

This is a really interesting video. I am age 59, in the UK and not an IT graduate but used to build early AI systems and also worked in business, had my own consultancy and also worked in academia in some of the top global business schools teaching Masters/Doctoral level simulation and statistics. Struggling to get into work. Every advert wants Python/SQL/Tableaux/PowerBI programmimg skills blah blah. You might be surprised that a lot of what you the young people on here are saying sounds familiar to an old guy like me. There is a massive hidden job recession happening. I have had all the same excuses given to me for not getting a job. At least you young guys haven't yet had the experience of a Big Four global consultancy admitting they had advertised a salary above the level they intend to recruit at and then suggest they might give me an interview if I was willing to pre agree I would accept a graduate level salary with 35 years experience. No thanks. I have actually trained McKinsey graduates! 🙄

Don't forget the "We are going to keep your application for future openings" smh

I got an interview for a developer position cancelled 3 minutes before it should have started. I waited the rest of the day for an email with an explanation, but it never came. When I sent a very politely worded emailed the next day I got a "Yes, it got cancelled. It was obvious, didn't you see? We are not hiring right now".

I picked the perfect time to graduate from a bootcamp didn't I :')

More realistic version: Aceing all technical interviews and behavioral interview at final interviews. After a few week, get an email about something like this: Although your qualifications were impressive, we have decided to move forward with other candidates.

More like "You'll hear from us soon" and then you don't.

Main reason you need connections in life

Aint no way thats a real interview. The graphql question is too easy 😑

After 7 years in Data and IT, I feel exhausted. Laid off in December, did so many interviews, and......I'm a credit analyst now, because I give up. Feels like I gave everything, and got depression in return.

Don't forget the part in the interview where they mention that a lot of candidates applied for this job

there should be an amount companies have to pay for the interview phase...

Love that your mom is supporting you

big things coming Pan 😤😤😤

Google Layoffs 12000 employees from 190,000 ,now there are 178,234 full-time employees !!! At first I was shocked by the number of layoffs in many companies, but the biggest shock was the number of employees they had, WTH!! In fact, I am very ignorant of what they do!😅

I HATE when they reply “we’re moving to another..” or they just ghost me after multiple interviews!!

I just got my first tech job! Apply everyday. You need to catch these listing the day they pop up! Keep getting better and investing in yourself. Stay positive that's number one!

I kept hearing about all these job openings in tech and was thinking of making a career change, now I see this while I'm literally having people email me asking me to apply for their jobs (I'm an environmental consultant). I guess I'm stuck here 🤷‍♀️

Legitimately who are these companies hiring when it seems like everyone gets rejected

Not believable. They would never give you the rejection that fast, they'd make you wait six weeks to hear back.

Literally my experience this year...🤣🤣🤣🤣

"please use GraphQL to write the load balancer to point to a different react component" LOL. This one had me chuckle. I would have responded "would you also like me to create a binary tree inside a motherboard using a toothbrush?"

This is pretty accurate except the fact you got a response instantly that they're not moving forward

I have been facing same issues since I got layed off from coin base it's been 3 months now 😢

I have only 80 applications in Notion. We are not the same. (yes we are, everything is spot on, wtf)

Was it only me that noticed that SQUARESPACE - the video sponsor - rejected him? LOL 0:42

95 applications to internships. 1 interview. Didn't make it to technical. Feels hopeless lol

I've been straight ghosted... never happened to me before. I would at least get an email or call that they chose someone else.

Loved the video! I got very lucky. I swapped jobs right at the height of the tech market before all of the layoffs when I was fighting off recruiter spam.

I actually paused at 0:36 to read the generated response from Chat GPT 😂

I'm surprised Blindr is full, with so much potential I'd be expecting a massive opening soon :3

This video be like "Democrat voters rethinking their choices in 2023 be like..."

Waiting on a company for their decision after i went through 7 rounds… frigging terrified😂

I am learning coding ,in my 2 nd sem starting tommorrow and this scares me ,is what I am learning can't be used for earning money in future ,I wanted to learn coding cuz it looked like the future is based on tech but i dunno anymore ..... (Sry for my eng i am not a native speaker )

Graduate in December the struggle is real...

Guys... Pan is alive, it wasn't AI posting in his social media.... TG

In the past 6 months I went through a company insolvency, got 3 offers, all of them postponed or declined last minute. Applied many many times. Heard of my other colleagues that got hired and fired within 3 months. Many companies closing, laying people off. I got a job pretty recently, only bc of my small portfolio project that stood out. I have literally zero expectations. I can as well be fired pretty soon with no consequences to the company. Hope everyone survives this time.

JD requirements : - You need to be alive You apply, receive an e-mail next day: "We regret to inform that ..."

Was waiting for him to start typing the interviewer question into ChatGPT. XD I feel this btw, I was on a set of interviews from December 2022 to until just a while back / Feb 2023. From presentations, case studies and so on. It's pain. Only good thing is that we mainly don't have to go back and forth to the offices for each interview.

Thank god i literally landed a job right before the hire freezes lol. In tech sales though, not engineering

that chatGPT part though :D. anyway, good luck to everyone looking for a job.

I don't get the developer job market right now, but it might just be because I specialize in backend Kotlin, don't know k8s, and don't want to do "full" stack. My company was hiring for an intermediate developer, and all we got were inexperienced applicants who could put a lot of buzzwords on a resume, but had no idea how to actually build something. At the same time, I'm applying elsewhere for a senior position, and can't get the time of day. So is there a shortage or overflow of experienced developers? I can't tell.

Dude complains about interviews then being sponsored by saas company

I'm up to about 500 applications, and so far only one first-round down and two more scheduled. And that's with 8 YOE. I haven't even gotten to the bit where they ask me to invert a Paxos graph in COBOL in linear time on a Commodore 64, or whatever. 2023 sucks.

same deal when you're applying at graphic design agencies 😮‍💨

Meanwhile I have a job but I am always on edge wondering whether there will be another round of layoffs

Life is so funny what are the odds pan actually ended up unemployed too 😂😂😂😂

nah, i work as a linux backend guy and my linkedin inbox is filling like always. beginning a new job would take 2 days (germany)

After 1 and a half month in hiring process and having passed the background checks for amazon, literally one day before my last interview they just told me they have cancelled all new hirings

After 6 years of learning different IT-related concepts, I gave up on IT. I have literally ruined my life with a bad approach to IT which is now beyond repair (bad high school, no Jobs from family, no money for courses etc). I have even decided to become a game developer and release some games on Steam (the games were terrible and I could barely afford monthly business owner fee), and now I sleep from 2 to 6. Of course there is no chance for a job, I have applied and never had an interview, and every developer is laughing at me. I moved on to Quality Science (a major mainly about chemical aspects of goods), but I still need the scholarship from the Computer Science major and I still have to study CS...

I am ghosted by samsung

Is ndex still recruiting? I'm currently doing my final year's internship in QA automation and would love to give all my learnings/acquired knowledge to such a SoPHistIcaTed company :)

Me, not even a coder and not understanding a thing of the last question: "Haha yes!!1!"

GraphQL is nice

I thought he was Joma until min 2:54

no joke I was denied a job at google because of my skin color (white the good thing was I become racially aware and that helped wake me up to the real world.

I'm just trying to figure out if I should keep trying or just give up on life already

So relatable, especially the ChatGPT text hahaha I've also been searching for a job (applied for 30+ roles and companies the last month) but three main scenarios happen at the interviews (4 tbh): - Too many requirements for a Front End Web Developer (as if they were looking for a whole FullStack team in one) - Fair requirements but the salary... sucks (less than $800) - The interviewer told me: "You're overqualified" :D - Over 9000 tech and code challenges passed which most of the time you won't even do that while on the role + to be waitlisted at the end :D

I have been rejected in 126 applications so far in the last 14 months.

Dude, this is me the last three months.

I really want my 3min back

I had a tech interview today but I messed up should have looked more MySQL :(

so you are telling me you are getting interviews?

Going through this process at the moment, its sooooo shit!!
