  • I got my CS degree eight years ago and never managed to find a job in the field. Still sending out resumes to every position that claims to be entry level, only to be told they’re looking for someone with five years of experience in a technology that came out two years ago.

    I wonder if still not having any relevant experience by now just comes across as a red flag to recruiters.





  • I got a Computer Science degree eight years ago, and couldn’t find any entry level position in the field - everybody wants five years experience in software that only came out two years ago. Two years later I begrudgingly took a menial data entry job that has been slowly draining me for the last six years, menial work that’s tedious and honestly just exhausting. They keep assigning me more with tighter deadlines, and I’m pretty certain they’re looking for an excuse to fire me. I’ve been on LinkedIn firing off as many resumes as I can hoping to get out, but I fear than a eight year old degree with no relevant experience in the field maybe just looks like a red flag to employers now.
