Started my career journey in tech found where I belong in data analytics and took a 12 week course but been struggling to get an entry level position in this position. Despite having 8 years customer service management work experience with lots of skill related experience. Yes to be declined.

Why post entry level positions but have expectations that individuals applying must have mid level experiences?

How to get a foothold in data analytics or tech in general?

Any advice welcomed 🙏🏽

You need to network and have a reputable entity with connections to potential employers vouch for you. That could either be some sort of job training / placement program with direct connections to potential employers, a university’s co-op / internship opportunities for their students or knowing a respected member of an organization that would be willing to give you a referral.

If your plan is to be another resume in a stack of hundreds these employers likely receive for the same position, you’re going to have a bad time. You need to know someone.

Just because it may be entry level posting does not mean that experienced techs are not applying. I was let go from my employer and after a few months I started applying for anything and everything to include entry level positions and I have 20+ years in the IT and cybersecurity industry. The tech field is difficult and as IOS Developer 1 stated; you need to network as that seems to be the only way these days.

The only way I got a job offer after thousands of applications was with a company where I knew 3 people working there that pushed for me and after 4 applications and a round of 4 interviews; I got an offer.

It tough but keep grinding

With the current drought in tech entry level positions it’s tough out there without a stellar cv - as first response said, you almost gotta know someone, be it through networking or common interests, and have them refer/recommend you. The more cold hard facts that you’re skilled and can deliver good quality, whether it be through a GitHub, portfolio or website, the better. Good luck

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?
