If I Were Looking For A Tech Job In 2024 I'd Do This

Thanks for sharing those book recommendations. I’ve been meaning to read Deep Work.

The interview tips are super helpful. I always get nervous, but I feel more prepared now.

I’ve heard about AI tools like ResuBot that can help with resume formatting. Might check it out for my job search.

I really like the idea of leveraging personal projects in interviews. It makes you stand out more.

This video has some great insights on job hunting. I wish I had this advice when I was starting out.

Thinking about changing my career and now I’m feeling depressed lol seems like every field is hard

Really helpful, thank you!

Not there quite on run time but it seem like a catch 22 on runtime

The pizza master in computer program sure could use some of that knowledge we could talk about so work iam some what knowledge able too help one another out that would be nice

Networking is the hardest task,especially after being crushed by hob hunting and interviews and all other things,I feel like a job at software is only a dream now.I have a masters degree in computer science and cant even get a response from companies.

I got all of my jobs through hard work and crushing interviews prior to tech. Literally a 1:1 application to job ratio(for harder jobs). In tech, I only get interviews through knowing people.

A college degree should weigh enough to land a job opportunity. If it's not, then I don't see why we spent so much time and money behind education?

Chuckee cheese: crowd gasps🤵‍♂️🤵🏽‍♂️👩🏼‍🎓👱🏿‍♀️

I wrote a novel go look for it

alice probably also has a bit more experience considering she has so many specific resumes not that that would help at all 🙄🙄

Building your network is definitely the most effective way to build wealth - your net worth is your network.

Economy is in the toilet right now.. I used to get weekly LinkedIn mails from corporate tech recruiters but has been DEAD the past 2 years. Fortunately, I am employed but would hate to look for a job next year.

Just became the ceo of google after this video thanks

do you think a tech degree matters? i have a econ degree and im interested in tech roles but im not sure what to aim for other than data science

Your use of "they" instead of "he" is driving me crazy. Every 10 seconds, I'm putting it back wondering who you're talking about 😅

Ugh, and here we go again bashing programmers for playing video games. The most passionate, knowledgeable developers I know LOVE video games; they're what sparked their love for programming in the first place. Pretentious tech bros who network for a living and kill everything in their life they love for the sake of "productivity" ruin this field for people who are genuinely passionate about programming.

couple things. first, even as a comp sci major im not even trying to land software development positions since im not really interested in that. im literally trying to land entry level IT and cybersecurity positions and have had zero luck. second, the example you used with alice to me is a bit unrealistic and doesn’t seem worth the effort. you said she is doing all these things to help her land a job but what is she doing to support herself right now out of college? why would i put so much time into creating spreadsheets of the 2-300+ jobs im applying to just to not get anything. my point being its not going to change the outcome. again, im not looking for coding related positions just simple entry level IT position that shouldn’t require any certifications or more than a year of experience

Don’t apply for a job in Amazon worst company to work for. They layoff people left and right with PIP. Their interview structure is crazy too. Waste of time!!

The reality is, I have applied Alice's strategy on Bob's volume. Looking for a job from 10am to 10pm most days since March 2024 with 8 total years of web development experience, 5 of which are MERN stack. Not delivering pizza's yet but I am already on income assistance.

obviously, he had to show guy a looser

1. Increase your chance of getting hired by staying organized & disciplined
2. The strength in the connections you have in your network can increase the chance of getting a job
3. Get ur interview skills ready even though you’re not interviewing

The "TLDW:" is just lie. Rather than use 2 or 3 resumé that accurately highlight your skills and experience, every resumé should be written to make you sound like you are the perfect ideal candidate for the job you are applying to.

May god help me

So you achieved your dream job by luck because your friend helped you. It shows how recruiting in big tech companies has failed. Recruiting in big tech companies should provide the platform so that talent is given chance not "I know somebody lets give him a chance" or "here is somebody good for diversity".

Alice can do all that by lunch time? no fucking way hahaha

First time seeing your channel, and I must say "I like your style"

Hi Steve! 😊Are you still receiving referral requests? I'd love to send you a link to a position that a recruiter reached out to me about, and thinks that I may be a great fit! I've already applied and will be following up Monday morning.

Hi, I would like to know what are your thoughts for someone looking to change career now in 2024 in his 30's from architecture design to the IT Software world. I have struggled a lot with architecture and for the past 10 years I haven't been able to move up the ladder from a draftsman position. There's many reasons for this starting from the actual downside of the hourly salary being from 5 - 10$, toxic offices and management, overworking hours, no benefits overall, which is insane here in the Balkans. I have tried from 2018 using my free time to learn programming python, Django, JS, Node.js and I actually completed some of the full-stack dev bootcamp and online courses. I really loved the entire journey, I even completed a beginners intro to cyber security from INE. Even with that drive and some projects completed I just wasn't lucky enough to land a apprenticeship role, so I had to set it aside because I needed a job and ended up again back to drafting. I am in a crossroads now, I just got a offer for a BIM draftsman role for MEP stuff which I will have to give my final answer in the following week. To be honest I don't see myself in MEP or a junior role in this field anymore, this doesn't mean that I will turn it down, it's just that even if I take the role I just wouldn't be physically or mentally able to dedicate my free time to programming. The other thing is I have some good saving behind and I am thinking of doing a state exam this September to become a licensed architect but like I said it isn't worth it at all here in the Balkans. Then on the other hand I just bought a monthly online course subscription from the ZTM academy to start again, start fresh and this time dedicated fully until I land a apprenticeship/internship/junior role at a tech company. Can you in some way help me?

Alice and Bob then spoke to each other via messages encoded with public and private keys.

I was laid off in 2023 by Microsoft. Finding a new job was rough. I recently posted a new video on things that have worked for me and things that have not worked for me

Computer Science or Computer Information Systems, I don’t know which to choose. I need opinions please

Alice is more likely to get the job because she is a female POC and companies are offered money to meet diversity quotas

thank you

Capitalism has achieved its goal: making a lot of people become developers to drive down wages.

This is the best advice and one can give you in this job market

How does anyone have time to nurture everyone?

I also don't know anyone that can help. Ive asked. 😂

Bro got a job because he grew up with an insider making videos about getting a job. Lmaooooo

"schedule a mock interview with friend who is also unemployed... "

Networking pretty much but i feel fake doing this

He literally used nepotism to get into Amazon in 2006, end of review
