I’ve been a SWE for more than 8 years now. It was so easy getting jobs 2-3 years ago. Now it’s like a never-ending battle if you’re trying to land a job in this market right now. Especially with AI on the rise, many companies and businesses are skeptical to hire software engineer who are not unicorns (many years in FAANG companies).

I’ve worked in corporate, startup environments, and i’ve failed now twice trying to make my own business.

In theory, if I was a unicorn in my craft (SWE) I should be able to create an application that gets alot of traffic and revenue. My point is, maybe it’s not the app/idea/software itself. It’s just who you know and how you can sell.

So SWE’s are pointless now pretty much? Go use wordpress with an experienced business guy and you already closer to being successful than a unicorn SWE.

Thoughts?
