My bf is the most likable, hard working, and intelligent person I know. He went to a reputable college and got a comp. engineering degree.
His last job of 3 years let him go a week before Christmas and he’s yet to find a job despite applying to over 200 places and taking a coding course in the meantime.
I really thought he may have been exaggerating the numbers until I checked out this sub and saw people with PHDs and similar degrees with the same issue.
He desperately wants to work. So for the meantime he’s been walking dogs like crazy to make ends meet.
Good for him. I’m proud of his hustle but it boils my blood to no end seeing companies say “no one wants to work” while this man is walking dogs just so he doesn’t drown in his student loans that he ideally would be paying using his god damn student degree.
Anyways, this rant has been spoken a million times a million different ways. Doesn’t anyone have any advice on how to get hired in comp eng?? Any pro tips on what works? Anything at all.
