We're looking for someone with the wisdom of a 50-year old, the experience of a 40-year old, the drive of a 30-year old, and the pay scale of a 20-year old.
I know this is supposed to be a joke, but I've been interviewing in the last several months and this is the exact impression I was left with. Despite the current supposed labor shortage, this is what employers still expect.
HR are the absolute dum6est people at every company so yeah, thats gonna be your experience.
There is no widespread labor shortage. The reality is HR departments at most companies are run by bird brains who just add, add, add to job requirements the same as if they’re padding a résumé.
Welcome to reality. The market has been soft since COVID. Lower pay is the new reality. You either want to get out of Apache or you don’t.
I left because of Project Ascend and my career is better for it. Take the leap.
