A growing number of mid- to senior-level professionals in Canada are struggling to find new roles and many are leaving their industry dejected

    so entering the job market is borderline impossible because all the “entry level positions” require you to have 3 years of experience, and then, if you miraculously get a job, changing it or getting fired is incredibly dangerous because said “experience” doesn’t even matter in the eyes of AI overlords scanning your CV for keywords half of which it probably hallucinated

    cool cool, society is doing great

      Its been this way for decades. They will ask for x impossible qualifications for the compensation they want to offer. One of three things will happen:

      1. No one applies, they alter the job posting or compensation
      2. No one applies, the posting gets reposted for years
      3. People apply and say fuck it. They get the job because there is no unicorn candidate

      Moral of the story is apply if you really want the job, or move on. It’s like running from a bear.

      you only need to be faster than the guy next to you

        yeah but as someone entering the job market it’s soul crushing to see all those listings. You think that you’re the problem, that everyone else entering the field does have 3 years of experience already. It just fucking sucks, what’s the point in inflating the requirements like that?
