ANTI-REC: BEING THE POOREST OF YOUR FRIENDS

I knew the one who works in computer science was making money but I didn’t have the numbers on that until earlier tonight, and I got through that conversation well in the moment but now I’m sad about it…I know no one can make you feel inferior without your consent yada yada, but it just really doesn’t feel good to be the unemployed friend, especially when I already started out as the lowest paid friend… Just want things to turn around for me idk

i resonate with this! im the only friend that has not graduated uni, so whenever they ask me to go out i usually say no because i cant afford it and i don’t want to admit it i am fortunate to have a job, but it still feels like they want me to keep up with their life while they’re making triple what i make in a year

ANTI-REC: THE JOB MARKET

i hate knowing that even though i got a promotion a few weeks ago, i still may lose my job in the span of a month. i hate how it feels like i need to learn new programming languages every week in order to stand out. even though i am adaptable, i still don’t know ruby on rails. i hate how certifications that they don’t tell you about in school open doors for so many more opportunities, yet these certs take a lot of time and hundreds of dollars out your bank account. then half the time you don’t even pass the test and have to take it over again. i hate how AI pretty much screwed up all of our careers because companies want AI solutions for everything under the sun to stay relevant. i hate how it’s told to me that clients want low-code and no code solutions, when that just means you want all your apps to look the same and have a single point of failure when the company who makes the low code product screws up. overall, i hate how it feels like things keep crashing down on me one by one in the last few weeks. and it feels like im just catching air when it’s possible. i feel like i should pray right now, but being agnostic and doing that sounds weird.

TELLING MYSELF THE REASON I’M GETTING JOB REJECTIONS IS DUMB LUCK

Not that I suck and the job market is shit and I’m sadly not connected enough to be a nepotism hire.

being offered a job

what’s that like? i’ve never experienced it. i’ve been searching for a job nonstop for the past five months and fucking no one has gotten back to me. i haven’t even been called back to say i didn’t get the job. i’m sick of it. i’m not in desperate need of a job but i’d rather have one before i am. i was expecting a call back all day. i waited by the fucking phone. i called because i was expecting a call this week, and the guy who interviewed me said “i’ll call you tomorrow.” fuck you. i hope you can’t sleep at night because you keep having dreams about your ex. i hope she calls you the next day and says she wants to get back together with you and she’ll meet you at your favorite date spot. i hope she stands you up, dan. i hope everything bad that could happen to you, happens. i wish murphy’s law upon you. edit: it’s so funny because this is my first semi-serious post that’s doing NUMBERS. thought i’d point that out and brag a little. maybe i don’t need a job after all. can i monetize this post?
