They are asking too much of junior devs...

every rejection chips away at you, especially when you’re actually putting in the WORK. i see you. you’re not alone in this at all
These companies say they want juniors but really just want cheap seniors who will do 5 jobs at once. It’s so exploitative
applied to 670+ jobs. 5 interviews. 0 offers. rewrote my resume every single time. built projects. studied nonstop. still nothing. one interviewer said I “over-prepared” like… isn’t that the goal?? another said I’m “not technical enough” after I literally walked them through a full-stack app I built solo. meanwhile junior roles want 3 years experience + 20 tools in your stack. it’s exhausting, discouraging, and honestly feels a little inhumane at this point. how are y’all staying sane out here?
