The Job Market is getting rough, but We MUST Prevail! Keep going! Let's talk here, for all Your Career Advice needs: calendly.com/econethan/career_advice
He’ll end up with a time gap on his resume which employers will question what he was doing during that time. In reality, the employers are creating the gap by not hiring him.
Checking references, doing assignments, several rounds of interviews it's all part of the game where you need to show them how desperate and obedient you are... they know their companies are toxic hell holes and they need some desperate compliant monkey. They pay you just enough to live but not enough so you can quit.
We’re dealing with serious issues here. Lack of jobs that pay well and increasing rents constantly. Imagine the next generation after us is going to be completely screwed.
Nah This is just an end of cycle circumstance And we just had an extremely delusional financial cycle due to the ZIRP We are now adjusting to the hangover of the last 15 years of ridiculous Monetary policy that is resulting in a hyperinflation end of cycle for this monetary system and those who parasited on it
The thing people need to understand is that right now job searching is harder than 2008~2009 during the great financial crisis or whatever they call it. I was in my early 20's back then and in my late 30's now and I must say I found it very hard to find jobs. I did job searching in the last year and a half in a specialized industry and I have lots of experience and certifications. But it was still very hard. I did manage to get jobs with 4 different companies in that span of time but I'm an exception. People are getting laid off left and right, top and bottom and center. People with degrees need to just drop all standards and just do min wage job or jobs that are just above min wage because things are only going to get worse for a while. Even min wage jobs will be hard to come by next year with how things are going. In some places like Canada where we had influx of immigrants and international students (in Canada international students can work up to 20 hours a week), minimum wage jobs are very hard to get already.
while watching this I wondered what the salary expectation were I agree with dropping the standards entry level programmer fine 3rd shift computer operator you got it maybe thats self defeating behavior but I wouldnt be waiting around for job that pays $150K+
I have a theory: tech companies (and others) know it will be much harder to outsource jobs in case Trump wins as he might retaliate or create policies/tariffs against it. They just don't want to be on the spotlight. Companies are running as fast as they can to outsource as much as possible before the year ends. As someone that have worked in both the US and 3rd world countries I can tell you this: Indians/Mexicans/Costa Ricans etc... work for 1/3 of the price and usually don't complain about working late, they do not leave at 4:30 or 5pm to pick up their kids at school or something like that, a good job is so rare in those places that they will do anything to keep them. You know where this is going...
This guy shouldn't be envious of other people who are working. He should be pissed off! He should be demanding a reason to why he's not able to get a job. News flash, the reason why you can't get a job is manufactured! That is what happens when they raise the rates. They need people to lose their job, and in turn lose their equity in anything that they own, and then the bank comes and wipes it all up. It's a game as old as time! But instead of demanding answers from his government, and learning what the Federal Reserve is, he decides to be envious of his neighbor and thus the cycle continues! Sadly, to be this awake, is torture!
A bad job market is a bad market. Almost no tactics work. So you have to find alternative ways to make money (e.g. short-term gigs) until conditions improve. The last time the job market was this back was during the GFC, about 15 years sgo. That's a long time ago, longer than many younger people have been working.
Can u do a video of narcissistic Bosses? How to spot them and how to deal with them? Also why are there so many arrogant/ narcissistic college grads? Why do so many college grads think they are highly intelligent people when a lot of them are not.
@@economicsethan ok please focus arrogant/narcissistic college grads? why do a lot of them think so smart because they got a degree? when majority are not that highly intelligent? how does degrees manipulate them in thinking they are so smart?
I agree with a lot of what you say. I was also in tech (non technical) and I hate the constant grind of having to actively be interviewing just in case or be on the look for opportunities because the changes of staying at a company for more than 2 or 3 years now seems impossible. My problem with your advice is just that is just as hard to build something that's actually sustainable in order to cover expenses, specially if someone is looking to have a family. But overall I agree with 95%. Would love if you could talk about tangible examples of how your clients use your services to better their situation.
Just go freelance and ask payment for your service til you find a stable job. I mean do everyone have to be employed ?? Offer your service to the market as a freelancer.
20:30 there is zero job stability. Everything is in the air. Impossible to feel secure as a man to build a family under this condition. You don’t know if you’re gonna have a job the next day they can fire you for any reason for no reason they expect to extract all the energy that you have. It’s not worth it. P and recognition from your job advancement is a thing of the past nowadays it’s whom you know not what you know. Networking is everything
I can almost guarantee you 90% of the people don't understand where black ball came from. And that's a big problem! I'll give you a hint it starts with free, and it ends with Mason
Bollocks to living like I'm earning $70k when I'm pulling in $200k. Why the hell would I bust my arse in a high-paying field only to pretend like I’m some fucking pauper? If I wanted to live like I was on a budget, I’d go work in retail or become one of those life coaches who can't even coach themselves out of their mums' basement. In the 20 years I’ve been in tech, I’ve always landed a new job, except for 2023, where yeah, things went a bit shite and I ended up in a shit gig - but that’s *one year* out of two decades. This whole idea that you’ll have great years, then suddenly you're out of work for 12 months like some tech hobo, only to be "cool" again, is bollocks. Yeah, we’re in fucking fucked times, no argument there, but I’ll be damned if I beg and plead with some HR slag or middle manager to put bacon on the table. Yeah, save and invest indeed, but if you're making $200k, live like you're making it. Balls to everything else.
Don’t worry I’m sure it will fix itself without requiring you to do anything different than in the ZIRP environment everyone thought was normal lol IT’S A NIGHTMARE IF YOU THINK CORPORATIONS WILL SAVE YOU DO YOUR TIME IN THESE ENVIRONMENTS BUT GET OUT AS SOON AS YOU CAN SEE AN INEFFICIENCY YOU CAN CAPITALIZE ON
Not sure who you're rage-typing at, you're writing with the false premise that the job market was good during ZIRP. I mean, it was OK. But white collar job market hasn't been normal since pre-2008. Loads of office jobs got eliminated during the GFC and never came back, then jobs have consistently been automated away (nothing to do with AI), employers got used to skeleton crews and occasional revenue losses due to not enough people to handle the work/prevent issues. Now we have lots of outsourcing. Everyone is wondering what is so special about Pune, India...the truth is that there just aren't enough jobs. It's madenning to hear from out-of-touch politicians that we need to be importing workers. We do not. We had loads of people right here.

Networking doesn't work when no one is hiring and outsourcing of any decent paying job is happening in droves.

These desk jobs are not truly needed. People won't develop needed skills like a trades job , they just keep trying to get another silly desk job.
