PSA: Jobs are available at smaller/non-tech companies PSA: Jobs are available at smaller/non-tech companies
Experienced

There’s been a whole lot of doom and gloom in this sub for a good long while but it feels like every other post is talking about FAANG companies and the difficulty in getting jobs with them.

I wouldn’t call myself the most experienced in the industry but I have been working in it for about 7-8 years now, and I gotta say y’all need to look literally anywhere else other than the coasts/the valley

Larger companies in transportation, finance, logistics, engineering, biology, all of these have good, solid jobs that need your experience. I promise you opportunities are out there and while they don’t pay 200K for a remote only position for some job in a midwestern city, I promise you you’ll be a lot happier in these kinds of places instead of the grind/high turnover places you’ll find in the valley.

I guess this is part rant and part advice but I just wanted to get it off my chest

Edit: this got more attention than I expected, using this opportunity to say take care of yourself and that you are worthwhile ❤️
