Job posting jargon translations:
Family: We will gaslight and manipulate you.
Initiative, self-starter: We don't know to how delegate work and will micromanage you.
Attention to details: We'll start the papertrail when you make a minor mistake.

I recently came across an IBM job post requiring 3 years of experience for an entry level position. Makes sense from where these small companies are drawing from.

[@FreezerSpaces]

I like these companies in a way because you can use their recruiting process as practice for the companies you really want to work with - same with unpaid internships >:)
The recruiting process is low-stakes, because at best they are going to offer you a job you already know you DON'T want. Use them!

Totally agree!! 💯

[@tramarthomas6105]

"The recruiting process is low stakes", you're completely right. I don't know why I'm so anxious when I think about it

[@AsakuraAvan]

pretty much every job posting these days has at least 1 of these red flags

When companies look for "Junior" or "Entry-level" Front End Devekopers with 5 Years of experience, it doesn't sound so entry/junior anymore.

[@catherinelijs]

You’re right! Many companies are doing expecting someone else to hire you to get experience first before they give it to you while paying you a junior salary

"UNLIMITED/UNRESTRICTED" PTO!!! IT IS A SCAM!!! YOU WILL ON AVERAGE USE WAY LESS PTO THAN A COMPANY THAT OFFERS A STATIC NUMBER PER YEAR
