    It’s everywhere. Tech hiring is shit right now. People are saying as bad as 2009

      Investment banks are still hiring like crazy but they tend to churn through people you can’t really survive in one long term cos they quite literally grind people into dust. My place hasn’t hired a single new person since 2020 and our team has only seen cuts and its hitting breaking point but theyre having fun seeing how few people are needed to run the team it seems.

      If we ask for new people the answer is always offshore. But only for tech people, project managers get replaced instantlythonk

      Feels like 2001, just after the tech bust.

    The “Israel/Palestine” thing is infuriating me.

      Reads like a person that isn’t pro-Israel to me. They’re acknowledging that it is Palestine but if they just say Palestine that could be confused for Gaza, so they’re also saying Israel to make it clear they’re within the borders currently labelled Israel. Also they’re trying to get out, so there is that.

      Doesn’t “engineer with no local citizenship” imply they are Palestinian?

        I read it as no local citizenship in whatever other countries they’re trying to flee to

        I read it as a Palestinian living in Israel. But either way it’s such a crazy statement.

      Yeah, I thought it was odd that they referred to it as “Israel/Palestine” and “technically in Israel”. Has to be either a Palestinian or one of the very few “Israelis” left who aren’t the reincarnation of hitler.

    This isn’t an Israel exclusive thing, it’s an everywhere thing. With the end of COVID lockdowns and the introduction of AI, getting a job in the IT industry or even just software development is much more difficult than before.

    So everyone want to take a bet that he’s one of the 3 Israelis who acknowledge the state of Palestine and not a settler living in the West Bank on land soaked in barely dried blood? ( I guess they could be a Palestinian in Israel proper, but if that’s the case there’s a reason no one in Israel is hiring you buddy)

      tbf a good amount of younger folks born and raised there are rejecting the brainwashing and propaganda. Not a substantial enough movement to put a dent in the machine, but still noteworthy enough.

        nor enough to put a dent in polling, what percentage is “a good amount of younger” israelis?

    Whatever that graphic is is way too small to read and it seems the lynchpin of the whole post.

      Engineer.

      Lawyer

      Doctor
