The job market hasn't been particularly good in the last year or so as it has been shifting to adapt with new challenges and opportunities. You aren't alone. Many jobs are being outsourced to cheaper labor in India and Philippines. In my last couple projects I worked on, I was the one of the people one working in the US while there was ab army of people working in India or the Philippines.

Given that a lot of jobs in the tech industry are remote, clients have been trying to cut costs and save money, so why they wouldn't hire someone in the US if they can hire 10 in India or the Philippines at the same cost.

One advice is probably try to get those short term contract jobs, might not be the best, but at least it's something

Just graduated with Aerospace Engineering degree. I am interviewing for multiple positions at once with different companies. One gave me an offer and they want me to get back to them within 2 days.

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
