Overqualification Memes

SWEET MOTHER OF SKILL REQUIREMENTS! Left side: an absolute APOCALYPSE of tech logos - AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Linux, security certifications, and about 47 other technologies that no human could possibly master in one lifetime. Right side: Excel. Just... Excel. Because apparently after demanding you be a cybersecurity ninja, cloud architect, and full-stack developer with 20 years of experience in 3-year-old technologies, what they ACTUALLY need is someone who can make a pivot table. The tech industry is having an absolute identity crisis and I'm here for the chaos! 💀

The job market's final boss has arrived! On the left: a job description requiring mastery of 20+ technologies including AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, JavaScript, Python, Linux, security tools like CISSP and Palo Alto, plus NIST compliance and .NET. On the right: the actual job? Excel spreadsheet jockey. It's the classic tech industry bait-and-switch where companies demand you know how to build a nuclear reactor just to change the lightbulbs. The recruiter probably thinks "full-stack" means you can stack paper forms into a full pile.

The classic tech industry bait-and-switch! Job listings be like "We need you to master the entire Microsoft stack, Java ecosystem, and three forgotten XML technologies from 2003" but once you're hired it's just "Hey can you fix this button alignment on the login page?" The disconnect between the encyclopedic knowledge they demand in interviews versus the mundane reality of day-to-day work is the tech industry's greatest magic trick. Meanwhile, the seniors who can't remember half those acronyms are designing the architecture while you're debugging CSS.
