Have you worked as or with a creative?

Alright, thank you man!

Yes but how is it to get the first job lmao. That's what I've been asking all along

Even as a junior?

I'm glad you find it useful! I think people are scared of creatives being cheated of their already few chances, and of the brainless marketing that Anthropic, OpenAI et al keep spouting.

Didn't see it tbf :D

Two year "yrkeshögskola". Educational that are centred around practical knowledge, with emphasis on work placements and the like.

I know, it's akin to other programming degrees. Granted that I start this one (two years, practical with placements once a year) then I feel fairly confident in that I will do the majority of my learning outside of school.

But again -- is the job market as "dead"? All devs I know (that don't do embedded) have warned of the shitty job market rn. I was imagining that embedded wouldn't be as crowded, which is why I applied. Now I got accepted and would like to know if the hiring of junior embedded devs is not as rare as other devs.

I see. These reasons are particularly why I've applied for embedded, as that was my guess. I've tinkered enough with Linux to get an appetite for it (I know it's different, but I'm fairly confident that I understand why embedded is different).

Reading this is comforting -- it feels like I wouldn't need to worry about a dip in the market in the case I to through with this degree.

I think that I'll do well, and I know that established ones make good money. The question I ask is more like this: am I going to study two years and then end up job-hunting for months/years on end? Is the job market still active, or does it suffer like the rest?

Might be a controversial take but this guy's only achievement is to create a franchise for children that isn't even that good.
