Indeed Memes

Four years of algorithms, data structures, and sleepless nights debugging code just to be told your Computer Science degree is perfect for scanning groceries. That recruiter algorithm must be using Internet Explorer on Windows 95. At least the "This is a bad match" button is self-aware enough to recognize the existential crisis it's causing. Nothing says "tech recession" like getting job alerts for positions where your most advanced skill will be memorizing produce codes.

The job hunting experience in one perfect meme! When you're desperately applying through Glassdoor, LinkedIn, Indeed, and even considering Tinder at this point (hey, networking takes many forms). The brutal truth? Whether you're crafting unique cover letters for each application or copy-pasting the same resume everywhere—the result is identical: complete radio silence . That moment when you realize the "we'll keep your resume on file" and "we'll be in touch soon" promises are just corporate for "seen ✓, not interested." Job hunting and dating apps: two ecosystems where ghosting is the native communication protocol.

When Indeed thinks your software engineering skills make you perfect for managing a fast food joint, but still has the audacity to include a "This is a bad match" button. The irony is delicious – unlike what you'd be serving at El Pollo Loco. The tech industry in 2024: Spend 10 years mastering distributed systems and microservices architecture so you can flip chicken and manage teenagers making minimum wage. But hey, you get to "apply your skills in a new industry" – because apparently writing code and cooking poultry require the same skill set!
