Ex-Indeed employee talks about the challenges of finding new tech job 

Airlines said the tech boom is over. I was one of them travelling client sites. Tech companies have nothing show in pipeline apart from AI whose source is very unreliable.

All the tech workers can go to McDonald's. They are hiring

You'd think that most of the people working in the Austin tech scene are qualified young kids because when I applied multiple times a year to a FANG company I finally got in 2020 as I matched the skills they were looking for which was basic boring work. If that's the case then I am under selling myself and should network more with dirt bags because clearly I thought my competition was fierce lol

@@infini.tesimo I think we are aligned on this, I too got into one of the Large Tech companies and it took forever, I had to work hard and pay close attention to the skills that companies are going to need. That's how working works, I sell my labor for what its worth, in order to drive up the price, i gotta have something to sell. Learn a Skill!!

Tech isn't just a website lmao

Youre right, you might have to use AWS too, so difficult right? (Not)​@mrcheeks7335

I think their regular format and filters revisions were way too often.. Like any diversity opinion will be applied with very little added value. Secondly, they must have used behavioral science which again not sure it is the approach for a job site..

Indeed isn't just a "jobs website"...... It's a website, an app and a business. It has a custom built search engine, an advertising platform, millions of resume's and personal info so it needs very good security, it's one of the most popular sites so tons of people will try to hack it 24/7, etc. To make all of that work flawlessly every day of the year, you need a lot of extremely skilled people. It's not like they just created a Wordpress website. There's hundreds of databases containing TONS of data that need to be built and configured in such a way that they're all easy to maintain and work together. Think of it like a house. You need an architect to design it. You need an interior designer. You need a team of builders. You need electricians, plumbers, etc. It's not just "hey lets put up a website".

Very. 😂😢

Yep like the self-made individuals during The Great Depression. They survived those times because they learned how be more resourceful with less. I still see that "Not everyone is meant to be an entrepreneur" meme flying around these days. Someone has to start that business that will then hire more people. We entrepreneurs just as much as entrepreneurs need employees.

@@JocMiles yup, I’ve been Slowly building my business on the side for several years, taking what I’m learning at my job and duplicating it on the side while getting rid of the things that aren’t working at my 9-5. Making for a tighter and leaner operation. Most of what we are doing everyday can be done on a smaller scale but it takes years and you really have to start as soon as possible…

@@Imjusttryingtotellu You're absolutely correct and you got it! You don't have to be a full-time entrepreneur, but having a sense of being able to use your skills outside of a job is what's going to set ppl apart from the crowd.

@@JocMiles Thanks! It certainly feels rewarding even if it’s just a couple steps every time ✨

It's American. India can't find enough people. It sucks as employers can go anywhere in the world to pick the cheapest employees but people can't move to India to save money

@@timgibney5590 I live in India, and I have lived in many countries. Due to advancements in AI , companies are laying of people globally. And ironically, I work in the same domain. I have been out of job since a few months now, had an offer from England, but I can't move there just for the money. Basically, it doesn't matter where you move to, companies will pay you as per purchasing power. Disparity is a global trend now. Capitalism is not perfect, it's driven by greed.

Exactly I swear they exploit their users selling personal information

Kinda. That's how I landed the best gig of my life. Now currently working on my second best gig as a result of Indeed.

Still better than orange monkey’s unemployment rate in 2020.

Lol people will just have to accept that you can no longer afford a middle class lifestyle off a tech job because of the instability. I never saw tech that way. I came from warehouses so I know how to live with less. That tech salary would be going towards cash flowing investments rather than lifestyle improvement any day of the week. That's how you have a successful tech career imo.

Yes, it's strong. It's stronger than all other advanced economics in the world.

*you're

**You're rude. 😂

Oh wow ur Rude and Putting them down. ANY JOB LOSS IS TERRIBLE. THEY HAVE spent thousands on their education. U have compassion issues.

@@JesusISKingNoMatterWhat and they can go to Taco Bell and McDonald's.

@@JesusISKingNoMatterWhat they can swallow their pride and take themselves to Taco Bell. Maybe they can learn some useful skills. Like cooking.
