If you’re new here, I’m a Senior Data Scientist at the company behind AdBlock (yeah, the one you probably use). In this video, I’m breaking down why the tech job market is a mess right now and what you can actually do about it.

Here’s the deal:
Too many applicants, not enough jobs. STEM grads are flooding the market, but companies aren’t hiring like they used to. Money’s expensive, and hiring sprees are over.

The average applicant? Kinda sucks.

Get a degree give me a job mindset doesn't work anymore

AI isn’t taking your job (yet). But it’s making everyone way more productive, so companies don’t need as many people. Knowledge is cheap now—ChatGPT knows everything.

So, how do you stand out?
Fix your CV and LinkedIn. Keep it clean, one page max. No one’s reading a novel.
Stop cold applying. Focus on referrals, recruiters, and DMs. Networking is better than spamming applications.
Build real projects. No more Titanic datasets or to-do apps. Be creative—build something that actually interests you.
Learn the fundamentals. Stats, engineering principles, trade-offs—this stuff doesn’t go out of style.

The tech job market isn’t what it used to be, but it’s not hopeless. Adapt, focus on what matters, and you’ll be fine.
