> how to evade high-paying tech salaries. Set the parameters to discourage Americans from hiring, create a bottleneck so that your open reqs last longer, then use their extra-legal powers (unfettered access to congresspeople) to claim they are falling behind profitability, but if they just had those wonderful H1Bs everything will be ok.
Yes that's what it seems to me based on many of the things I've read (not in this thread)
I'm seeing stats that show very few jobs have gone to white people as of late, and many people online are stating its an issue, but I personally have not felt as though being white is the issue for me. I am trying to get a read on other people's experiences with ageism, racism and sexism. I have experienced being replaced by foreigners who were cheaper, but I doubt being white was the issue.
Focusing on small-medium businesses and individuals who normally don't have alot of knowledge or access to people who do information technology as our leads has been our bread and butter - you want to be looking at local companies like art galleries, schools, non-profits, places that are running legacy systems that need to be upgraded, stuff like that are just everywhere and the thing is they know they need work done and they just haven't gotten around to hiring someone to do it. The big thing is lead generation and you can just do that on google maps, and showing up friendly asking if they need help. We don't really try to be big or anything, but we're happy with solid income in something we simply enjoy doing. We just landed a client that's been linking us up with doing red team work for larger international companies, which has been a fun change from the development work I've been mostly doing - all it took was all of us here just running through a bunch of tryhackme and hackthebox to make sure we are on the same page, and then just getting linked up through people we know from going to defcon, so this has been a really exciting and fun pivot which definitely pays more than the other stuff!
https://31337itsolutions.com if you're curious. Everything else we do is related to ecommerce and that's always good $$$ as well. Feel free to steal my idea for your own locale if you're looking for work, it didn't really cost much to start this.
All you need is talented friends, a professional looking website, an email solution of some kind, and maybe a small investment in some collaborative software too. It was like a week of effort tops to do all that and I haven't had to mess with it much since that effort, it's basically just there to keep up professional appearances and host blogs and code whenever we decided to do some writeups on our work.
This has been my problem as well. I didn't want to say too much in the original post as I wanted to see if others would say the same. I've seen a few comments mentioning this. I noticed the inability to get interviews right around when chatgpt dropped, so I think it might be AI screening related.
Thanks for asking - I tried to start my own small business and it was just before the economic downturn so i now have an employment gap - this has been the main point of contention with hiring managers. I also let SEO on my site slip and my resume needs to be cleaned up. However, I think the market is oversaturated and this is the main problem.
I'm also not great at leet code challenges, but landing interviews in the first place is currently the challenge.
White males according to Bloomberg and others are disproportionately affected by the economic downturn. Thr majority of the American workforce is no longer white males (allegedly).
