GARBAGE PROGRAMMING JOBS | Jr. Developers - 1st Edition #grindreel

in today's video we're gonna take a look at some ridiculous garbage jobs this is just clear to me that these jobs are taking advantage of people that don't know any better that don't know to not apply from junior dev jobs they all required like two to four years experience required not preferred like straight-up required which is absolutely insane because if you're at four years experience you're not a junior dev anymore now don't get me wrong here I know that sometimes a job is a job okay sometimes you just got it you got to do work but I'd like to show you some of the garbage jobs and at the end I'll show you a job which i think is decent and pays well and the perks seem reasonable and so does the requirements basically I'm just trying to look out for you guys and I just want you to realize when this is a bad job and when this is a good job and I'll show you how to check so let me let me go ahead and start here with this first one that I found on the live stream this one is called Junior dotnet developer internship first of all the title here what is junior developer internship wouldn't it either be internship or junior developer or sometimes you might even see entry-level developer you're going to design maintain leverage ap is two to four years experience in c-sharp asp.net this is impossible how are you supposed to have two to four years experience in an internship how are you supposed to have two to four years as a junior developer this is not possible this is the classic circle of how do I get experience so that I can get the job to get experience this doesn't make any sense so this company right here has no idea what they're talking about this is a classic example of HR not having any idea of what this actually means extensive experience of designing restful api s so they want you to be able to design api's and your junior developer I mean with this experience level that they're asking for sure but down here where it says experience net core two years required this is required and this section right here of indeed this is generated on the back end of indeed when a company goes to make this job posting so what happens here is when you make this job it asks you two questions you want to make this required or do you want to make this preferred so if I try to fill this job out it will say do you have two years experience and if I click no my application won't even get sent to HR this is automated filters right here on indeed and you can tell that you see this section of indeed here so if you don't put yes you do have experience your application is not going anywhere it's not even gonna make it HR I know because I made a job post here and it asked me those same questions here you can see restful api is one year preferred so this it doesn't matter this your application will still get sent to indeed calm and it won't actually matter work location one location or work from home but one thing that they're not talking about here is payment this is this is just one of those jobs that just doesn't really know what they're talking about this is a clear shot at trying to get someone who's really desperate for a job and I get if you're really desperate for a job you know sometimes you just got to take what you can get this is clickbait this is job application clickbait jr taught net developer internship what does that even mean you're either you're either one you're an intern or your junior developer which one are you both of these are just titles to have a reason to pay you less but with two to four years experience here this is absolutely outrageous this is a garbage company bright investments shame on you all right next up we have this is this is the place I actually called dealer car search this is the place that I skipped HR I went to their website I found their phone number I called and I said I couldn't apply online but if we further analyze this position here this is really bad forty to forty five thousand a year as a front-end web developer and designer typically these two skills right here are known as the Unicorn skills most of the time people are one or the other and companies try to get both instead of hiring two people to do their individual jobs that's what this company is trying to do also at the at the cost of forty to forty five thousand a year this alone starting is forty five I think especially here in this part in Kentucky forty five thousand be the bare minimum you would ever take fact that they brought it down to forty is a joke and you're doing two jobs fourteen days paid vacation a 401k plan three percent contribution after a year so your 401k you don't even get a contribution when you start you have to wait a year to get three percent so basically that's just a savings account for a year six paid holidays per year I would say industry standard for like even the most stingy of companies is eight holidays per year Green Campus feel so that you just have a bunch of fake plants everywhere like what does that what does that actually mean why is this the bonus while walking Trek prove an industry leader with outstanding reputation I don't understand how that's a benefit to you that seems like more of a benefit to the company career growth opportunities but they don't specify how competitive compensation plan so this right here this is an absolute joke let's take a look at what this would actually look like if we go to this area and we look at what other people are getting paid we put in the city here we put in front end developer UI developer 68k to 93k web developer for CafePress 59 K to 99 K 52 to 91 full stack developer here 41 to 70 K so another thing if we scroll down and we look at the actual job requirements they want HTML the design Suites they want you to have CMS knowledge modern CSS design bootstrap responsive technology JavaScript mustache okay so they're just toss a little framework in there and some graphic design and some customer service abilities and we need you to know how to do hosting and how all that works so a little bit of DevOps in here so why don't we just make it why don't we just make it three and just put you know we'll just put DevOps - why hire a developer team when you can just hire one person and make them do everything instead make it seem like a benefit to them for the low low price of $20 an hour side note here I'm not really roasting anymore but side know a lot of people say jQuery is dead I respectfully disagree for this reason you need to learn jQuery so that you can do customer service so what's going to happen is you're gonna get a job you're gonna work for a company and you're gonna be the new guy or girl and they're gonna say hey we don't want we have a customer that doesn't want to upgrade their software with us and they're still using jQuery can you please go like fix their bug or add this new feature because we have a contract that lasts for like eight years so jQuery yet it's still it's still in demand I actually like it no reason to make a react app to do animations and stuff like that like no reason just you know event listeners animations Jake wears great for that stuff just boom boom couple lines of code I know the guy watching my videos actually has an interview with him on Thursday it's his first interview you do and they offer you this range counter counter counter for at least 50 K it bare minimum counter for at least 50 K experience required web design three years three years for 40 to 45 K and again remember this is marked as required which means if you don't have three years you've got to point nine years and you put no because you're mister honest over here your application is not getting sent to HR it will not get it when you click this apply button apply now right here when you click that button a little motor will pop up you'll put in your put in your resume you put in your cover letter and then there will be another page that will show up and it will say do you have this experience yes no do you have this experience yes no do you live here yes or no and depending on what you pick decides if your letter gets sent off to HR so if you really want a job and you don't fit these in parentheses here where it says absolutely required that you're not they're not getting the paper I think you guys get it let's move on to the next one here junior full stack developer but if we look down here three years experience bro if you've been working for three years you're not a junior anymore like you should be mid-level this doesn't this this title junior full stack and three years on the job it doesn't it doesn't make any sense working schedule is Monday to Friday the schedule may vary and can be flexible so what this means the schedule may vary you know you want to know what that is code for that is code for a nice long weekend my man this right here schedule may change that's a big ol red flag for overtime but you know that happens with regular jobs but you know that's what that means I found this one this is a junior developer doesn't specify the title which is good I really like that here we have 70 to 75 thousand and then down here it says relevant experience one year preferred this is really cool one year preferred which means they're open to the fact that you might not have this and the compensation is still decent so what they want you to have Ruby on Rails r-spec yeah I mean this is all just standard stuff proficient and sequel and active record continuous integration and deployment preferred so again if you don't know CI and CD continuous integration continuous deployment then they'll teach it to you is what preferred means like if you if you have it great you'll probably stand out in the candidates if you don't whatever company seems pretty chill one of the things I do want to point out even though the compensation is good Ruby on Rails is kind of a I mean a lot of people will defend it I'm gonna say that there's a lot of magic and you end up fighting it what you have 70,000 to 75,000 a year and that's probably because of the tech stack a lot of people don't want to do Ruby on Rails and so jobs are kind of forced to compensate you a little bit more but overall the quality of this job in my opinion let me get my green here turn it into phthalo green Bob Ross is good this job is good it seems flexible they're willing to teach you technologies they just show a list of things this is something that I would apply to this seems like a reasonable job and if you don't want to do rails eight cool it looks like they're doing angular anyways and so what you're falling into are these traps of junior developers and interns and companies knowing that if they tagged this they're gonna get really saturated really competitive results which means they can pit you against other candidates and drive their salary down that they have to pay you I know I'm talking really fast and you're probably like why are you so passionate or slow it down Josh but I just just because the market is saturated doesn't mean that salaries go down the market is saturated with a bunch of under qualified candidates under qualified candidates don't do good work which means the salaries are not you know they're not going to go down you still have to have a qualified candidate that can do the work if there was a saturated market of qualified candidates then of course the salary would get drive driven down that's not the case there's a bunch people don't know how to code and a few that do so the salary ranges are just going down because people don't know any better and companies are just doing this I just want you guys to get taken care of I just want you guys to be able to provide for your family in just a little better life but I don't want you to get I don't want these positions to be pivoted like they're an advantage to you when it's actually like six jobs in one but you think that oh I get to do many different things no no no that's not what that means you get to do a lot of different things but these are like separate people's jobs that they're just combining into one and somehow pivoting and making that look like it's an advantage to you it's like when Oreo came out with Oreo thins and they charged more money for it just because of marketing and how they spun it you're literally paying more money for less cookie that that's what that's what these jobs do to you they're giving you more responsibilities and pivoting it and marketing it to you like it's an advantage and like it's a positive thing whenever they just don't want to hire more people they're paying you less and they're getting a whole lot more just don't fall into this trap guys if you liked this video and you want to see more videos like it where I call out these ridiculous job applications just let me know I'm happy to do this I'm happy to point out companies and I'm happy to show you how to avoid this stuff I hope you guys have a good day hope you guys are crushing it tomorrow's trash day so if the trash day for you don't forget to take out your garbage I'll see you guys in the next one

Every time I see this guy's videos it just makes me wish I had gone to a coding bootcamp. -_-

I've been keeping a casual eye out for a little over a year for another job.

Specifically I have been looking at Municipal Management (Town Manager, Chief Administrative Officer). So over the last year, I have probably seen most Town Manager and CAO job posting in the country (Canada).

There is a pretty standard set of requirements that scale with the size of the city. So a capital city needs a Master's and at least 10 years managing another city. A farming community wants an undergrad, CPA and 5 years of government work ect.

Sometimes there are really vauge requirements (Must be a good leader who can rise to a challenge) and other times there are incredibly specific requirements (Must hold a certificate from the South Dakota Municipal Manager Institution) which usually means that they are grooming the requirements for a certain person.

However the best ones are small towns who don't understand their competitiveness. I have seen one town in the middle of nowhere who was paying like $60k, re-post their Town Manager job every single month with less and less requirements each time. At first they wanted someone who had 20 years experience at a bigger city and wanted to end their career in their community.... Then it was any other current town Manager.... Then it was any director in a capital city. Then it was an director in any city. Then manager ect...

I believe they are currently at "a mammal with a pulse".
