I'm talking REAAALLLLLLLYYYY bad, like $30k-$40k per year (in this awful inflation era too) for senior level work when the role is called "entry-level", and also demanding 3-5 years of extremely niche experience. Also remote roles are dried up and most of the jobs are either full in-office or hybrid so you can't do the live in flyover state, work a Cali job strategy anymore.Not only that, each of them has literally hundreds of applicants, many of whom are literal Silicon Valley & Wall Street & Ivy League nepotism rockstars. How the fuck do you even make money these days, if you aren't already part of the senior level club? Don't answer with entrepreneurship also, every micro niche imaginable in that is now mega oversaturated thanks to twat ass tiktok and yt gurus shilling all of them.

>>62197862Well what's your network like? I got put in some BS job for the government making $200k a year because I knew a guy. Easy peasy
>>62197862I just had my dad get me a job where he works since he's been there for 50 years and made 90k starting Also a lot of these jobs pay like shit at first but if you prove you aren't an incompetent retard they very quickly start moving you up the ladder to make sure you don't leave.
>>62197939>>62197962This job market is seriously broken beyond repair if "who you know" is the ONLY entry point you have now. I feel like punching a hole in the wall this shit is so fucking stupid and frankly futile to even try at this point.
>>62197992It was always like this. Sometimes more, sometimes less. That's the point of going to the college. You don't go there just to get a degree but to network too. Going to the college and not networking is just wasting money for a useless degree. That's how people end up making less than people without a degree while being knee deep in their studen loan debts. Luckily for You, I see openings for factory positions for 45k+/no experience all the time.
the very second labor started getting a little power, they got buck broken in an instant.
>>62197939After taxes, I made $370k last year literally doing like four hours of work a week lol.
>>62199440Lost 80% of it gambling on crypto though. Womp.
>>62197862You start a YouTube channel
I'm pretty sure you're only getting jobs if you have connections nowadays. It's rough out there.
>>62197862I think I might have to move out of Calithe good news is that almost every other flyover state will feel cheap compared to this placethe bad news is that cold weather is annoying and gay. so maybe Florida
>>62197862agreed this is my experience as well
I feel that. I made dog shit money for like 15 years after college. Took me until this year to make "adult" money and honestly it still does not feel like enough. Older you get, more expenses you have, and I don't mean cars and toys and boats. I mean like quality long term care insurance, life insurance, 529, mortgage, home improvements, 401k, other investments I'm "broke" in the sense I don't have enough cash to feel like I'm living life but I have enough to do all the responsible adult shit.
I wouldn't lift my balls for less than $50/h at this point, when you strat making serious cash you start to not give a fuck and your standards go up pretty quick, I can work at a grocery store if I lose my job sure, but im not going to give a fuck and im not taking shit or breaking a sweat brcause I wa just making a quarter mil sleeping for a half of my shift all year.
Jobs have been stuck at 30-40k/y average since 2001.Back then rent was $400/m and homes were like $120k.
work more
