Hey, you're not alone in this feeling. And it's OK to be pissed as well. As an unemployed senior web dev with over 20 years in this field, trying to navigate this job market is fucking laughable. There's an absolute flood of people just like me flooding every job posting with resumes, but the jobs never get taken down.

Junior dev positions are getting flow fed by senior devs needing work. The whole scene has been buttfucked by AI to boot, so my field is circling the drain already.

I guess a life of petty crime might pan out better...

Jesus, yeah, I have a lot of friends in that position... I was lucky enough to be able to quit before things became outright quicksand and am looking into completely different professions at this point. I don't want to touch a computer for anything other than fucking about in my free time. Maybe some data entry, but that's it. At least the diversity somewhat negates the impact of just how dire things are, I guess.

I honestly don't know how we'll get ourselves out of this one if things keep going the way they have.
