Bro Our Job Market Is SO Bad Discussion

3+ rounds of interviews that stretch on for months.

< 60k pay for MANAGEMENT POSITIONS.

Endless scam listings.

Being ghosted by recruiters and hiring managers after multiple interview rounds.

I am tired. Send help. I hate it here.

Edit: I am not un-employed. Thank you to those reaching out with job postings, I do really appreciate it.

I currently work as a mid-senior manager in the supply chain/ecomm space.

I honestly just think most folks in this city aren't fairly compensated for the work they do, especially in relation to the COL. Are there lazy MFers? Absolutely. But most folks I meet are hard workers and it's depressing to see so many getting ground to a pulp while trying to simply get by.

I don’t disagree. That was my experience when I lived in Nashville. A lot of businesses are run by good ole’ boys that that want to get rich quick by screwing over those that work for them and paying them too low.

The only thing I’ve seen working at the state is a stack of folks who came to get their CDL and leave.

Pay bands at my company are adjusted based on the local cost of labor. I recently found out that people one level below me are making ~30% more than me in Austin. I moved here from there - the cost of living is about the same so I’m pretty ticked about it.
