A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

You're not weak. It's genuinely a dehumanizing, exhausting experience that seems to get worse year after year. I'm barely in my 30s, I've been laid off twice and had to relocate once. Each search was worse than the last.
Thanks for the kind words. I guess it's just very difficult to fit into whatever mold these companies are looking for. It feels like they want a unicorn or a robot. And if you don't somehow match their very specific buzzwords, your resume doesn't get looked at.
It makes me feel like I'm not enough. I'm quite uncertain as to how I'll make enough of a living going forward in the future, but I guess I shouldn't worry about it too much. Stuff usually works out right? Haha
