#JobMarket #CareerAdvice #2021JobMarket
Wow, isn’t it crazy how a random Redditor’s advice can completely change the course of your career? Three years ago, someone on here convinced me to apply for jobs while I was still a freshman in school. And you know what? I’m glad I listened because that decision kickstarted my career journey. 🚀
2021 was a wild job market, no doubt about it. And I know many of you are still struggling to find the right opportunities. But hey, here are some tips that might help you navigate the job market and land your dream job:
– Don’t underestimate the power of applying for jobs even as a freshman or underclassman
– Consider remote work opportunities, especially in the current job market climate
– Network, network, network – you never know where your next job lead might come from! 🤝
So don’t lose hope, keep pushing forward, and who knows? You might just end up with a successful career story like mine. Let’s support each other and crush it in the job market! 💪🌟
Freaking Congrats, man! Love to hear when folks take steps forward for themselves and get themselves out there. Great advice in life in general. Good opportunities ain’t gonna introduce themselves. You gotta go out there and grab ’em.
Same here but I applied to jobs before graduation after working with bootcamp during degree. I dident get to graduate with 3yoe but I’m about to hit 3yoe little less then two years post grad
I remember Amazon’s old new grad interview process.. it was wild
If you did good on the OA (2 leetcode mediums) then you just had a single, 30 minute interview with an engineer at Amazon, where you just explained your approach to the questions and talked about your solutions.
That’s it. They wouldn’t ask you any more leetcode, any behavioural, any oop… nothing. It was just you explaining your solutions… that. is. literally. it.
Then they would give you a $200k new grad offer.
Shit was wild. Lots of rampant cheating, tons of people got in when they shouldn’t have. Funny enough, even if they got pipped out (a lot managed to stay), it still changed their career trajectory forever.
> nearly all of you who are struggling would’ve crushed it in 2021/2022
I _did_ crush it in 2021 and 2022. But layoffs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
