1yoe is still ng

but congrats it’s tough out here

[willow sundial]

Na i have 1 yoe full time, im dec 2021 grad, worked all of 2022, laid off jan 2023

[willow sundial]

I’m not ng, that’s why it’s basically impossible for 2022 grads to get a job now, it took me 6 months to find this

[rigid flame]

You're not ng, but the role is considered for ng, right?

[willow sundial]

Na it was just a random swe role that wanted 0-2 yoe

[vivid sable]

@willow sundial bro I am in the same boat. Started at ebay after graduating in dec 2021, got laid off in March 2023 and recently found a role which pays 95 😦 I assume you are still looking for roles? Do you mind if I DM

[wild dome]

@vivid sable ebay layedoff?

[vivid sable]

Yeah it was a 4% layoff (500 employees)

[willow sundial]

I’m gonna take a break from applying and yeah it really does suck, but yeah DM me

[wild dome]

@vivid sable international?

[vivid sable]

@wild dome Yes but I am on OPT still. So I had like 150 days. ended up using 90

[wild dome]

do u mind if i dm?

[vivid sable]

go ahead

[queen willow]

How'd you have 150 days? Isn't it 90?

[vivid sable]

@queen willow STEM OPT extension gives you 60 extra days. So 90 + 60

[wild dome]

90 initial + 60 stem

[queen willow]

Ohh alright, here I was thinking there's some way for me to have 150 days rn

[wild dome]

lmao that's dream but u could do some voluntery work to stop the clock while in initial opt

[queen willow]

Is there a job board for volunteer work? My OPT has started last week but I've jackshit

[vivid sable]

^ ask someone at your university. Maybe ask around at the student clubs. For example, my uni had a club called Engineers without Borders where we helped local underprivileged communities using our skills

[queen willow]

Thanks, will check this out.

[wild dome]

ask your uni professor, they unsually help out

[balmy maple]

curious about compensation

it's not a new grad title it's just like swe II or something?

[willow sundial]

It’s very low, lower than new grad in 2021

90k for an intermediate level SWE

NYC

[rancid pier]

are you planning to take it?

[nocturne carbon]

Just 90K base or is there also a bonus? Total TC?

They're just asking to be reneged

[willow sundial]

No bonus, it’s just base, that’s the TC

[willow sundial]

That’s not possible for entry level in 2023 as a 2022 grad

[willow sundial]

Yeah i’m desperate, don’t have a choice

[nocturne carbon]

Honestly, it's still good

esp in this market

[willow sundial]

Well the people who still have a job are still earning their 6 fig salary, so for NYC it’s still rly bad
