Been reading a lot of articles about how AI is killing the job market for junior devs. They say most companies will have a handful of senior devs managing it and no one else

I want to work in tech, but there's practically nothing for junior devs out there and those get snapped up by young new grad geniuses with whom I can't compete.

With those senior devs, I wonder who will run things when they move on.

If you have a job for a NEW GRAD. I'd like to see it. Please don't make me regret my masters degree forever. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

Please dont let me try to make a living as a writer, if you think rejection sensitivity is bad for job interviews... Wait til you pitch a literary agent

@Moss what's your background?

@Moss I looked through your code and was really impressed! I love how organized and well-commented it is. It's easier to follow than some code I've seen by people who have been doing this for a long time 😂

I'm not aware of any positions right now that seem like a good fit for your skills, but here are some suggestions that might help you in your search:

@Moss I think you'd be a great fit at my former employer. They don't seem to be hiring right now, but you can follow them on linked in: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xlr8-development/
And reach out to me once you're ready to apply!

Anything you can do to grow your portfolio is a good thing. If you have more projects from your Masters or your Udemy courses, great! More importantly, tackle a project or two just for fun. Pick a real problem and build out a solution to it. Aim for 2-3 repos with mid-4-digits lines of code

@Moss seeing that sort of passion is always really exciting for recruiters and referrers.

Finally, I'd recommend diving into software architecture and object-oriented patterns, and then Leetcode problems. Patterns and algorithms are what separate engineers from tinkerers.

After showing that your code is just as readable in a larger codebase that is organized and efficient, I think most companies would be happy to take you! And you have three degrees 🤯 so I'm sure you can!

@fogoplayer Thank you for this support! Im working on a django/mysql project with a friend to help people apply for jobs... But I can't share it at this point. (But I've been using it on my own in its incomplete state. )

@Moss sounds perfect!
