A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

My SO has been struggling to find anything accounting related for the past 3 years. Last I checked she's at 4 or 500 applications, 2 replies/ interviews, but no bites yet.

Even in my own case, just looking for jobs that would be okay with my skill set seem far and few between. I've found a few but they pay less than I'm making now (which is alarming! Inflation was terrible the last 5 years. Places where I live seem to not be keeping up). I've come across maybe a couple dozen where I think I was qualified based on their listing's. Everybody wants a unicorn.

A friend of mine is a lawyer and she found a job that wanted to pay about $15 USD for 10 hour days 6 days a week. We were both surprised by that one. Seemed like a sweatshop. When asked why the last person left they replied with "they couldn't handle how we work here".
