Yeah, boy am I glad I finally got into the industry just before the pandemic hit. If I was trying to get into it now with zero experience, I think I’d have a better chance of becoming a lawyer without a degree, Mike Ross style.
I’m getting to the point where I can call myself a senior in a few years without feeling embarrassed. And since nobody’s hiring juniors and they still want seniors, I think it’ll be a good place in a few years. At least until they figure out AI that’s good enough to start displacing seniors en masse as well, by then I hope to just have investments to make some passive income in addition to whatever the fuck I’ll be doing to earn my bread after this. Maybe I’ll be a lumberjack. I do like playing with my Husqie.
pre-pandemic hire yea you pretty much were set. but not during covid, and not during 2023 though.
