Is hiring getting worse or better for juniors?

Most agencies nowadays seem to want more senior talent because remote work is not great for juniors. It’s hard for juniors to learn the basics without the random knowledge you get from being in the office and having unscheduled talks with coworkers.

Better, top heavy companies lay off senior talent and need cheap worker bees

I see agencies taking out lower level-takes up more resources to train and provide knowledge to Jr’s. If anything mid and seniors are a bit more safe.

Better - more work, less pay

Better I think. I just spent the past 7 months looking for Junior work with no traction. Finished ad a school right before Covid. Just got an offer this week and a recruiter contacted about a different one.

I dint think most of them get posted on the usual job boards so keep an idea for recruiters posting openings on LinkedIn

uplifting

do you have any recommendations of recruiters to follow?

Tell me why this is nothing to worry about.

I have adhd which results in me having even worse imposter syndrome than others. I didn’t always do the best in school until I started getting medicated. Therefore, I have pretty bad self esteem.

On the plus side, I’m really good at concepting. But for everyday tasks, not so much.
