Tech hiring Memes

The One Man IT Department

1 day ago 107.9K views 0 shares

The classic "we need someone who knows everything" job posting. Just a casual list of requirements that spans the entire tech universe—from SQL to NoSQL, frontend to backend, mobile to desktop, and oh yeah, throw in some machine learning while you're at it. This is what happens when HR thinks "full-stack developer" means "omnipotent tech deity who works for mid-level salary." The red highlight is basically saying "in summary, please be an entire engineering department with 15 years of experience in technologies that have existed for 5." Bonus points for "1 day per week" at the bottom. Sure, rebuild our entire digital infrastructure every Tuesday. No problem.

Yes I'm Salty

That murderous rage when HR hires someone who claims "5 years of experience" but can't figure out how to clone a Git repository. Senior devs transforming into anime villains as they watch the new hire struggle with basic terminal commands while earning nearly the same salary. The dark energy isn't just for show—it's the physical manifestation of having to explain what a constructor is for the fifth time this week.

Ah yes, the classic tech job posting paradox. "We want a senior C# developer with 3+ years experience in Microsoft stack, but we'll pay you less than what a Starbucks barista makes in Seattle." But don't worry, you get the privilege of wearing jeans to work and there's free parking! Because nothing says "we value your expertise in building complex enterprise applications" quite like saving £5 on parking fees. The real benefit package is getting to explain to your landlord that your rent might be late, but hey, you've got profit sharing... which kicks in after 5 years if the company hasn't been acquired and gutted by then.

Interview Vs Actual Job

Programming Git Algorithms StackOverflow Debugging

The tech industry's greatest magic trick: turning whiteboard algorithms into a career of Stack Overflow searches. That tiny blue bar represents the actual skills you'll use daily—git, debugging, and asking good questions. Meanwhile, that towering red bar is all the obscure sorting algorithms and binary tree inversions you crammed for, only to spend your actual job googling "how to center div" for the 47th time. The real skill? Surviving the technical hazing ritual we call "the interview process" while pretending those skills will totally transfer to your day job.

The Ultimate Reverse Interview Technique

Programming Agile Testing

The ultimate reverse interview technique! Instead of companies giving you a "trial task" to evaluate your skills, why not flip the script and get paid to evaluate their competence? It's like unit testing a company's management before committing to the full production environment. The number of tech companies that fail this basic responsibility test would crash the entire recruitment system.

The secret ingredient to landing that high-paying dev job? A clean shower. Not clean code, not a fancy portfolio, just pristine bathroom tiles. Tech recruiters aren't looking for your GitHub contributions—they're desperate for engineers who understand the concept of personal hygiene. In an industry where "works from home" often means "hasn't seen sunlight in 72 hours," a shower photo is basically a competitive advantage. The bar is literally on the floor... or in this case, the drain.

Don't Worry About Actual Work, That's For The Senior Developers

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.

The Impossible Job Requirements Paradox

Every dev job listing in existence: "Entry-level position. Requirements: Must have been coding since the womb." The tech industry's impossible math strikes again! The classic paradox where companies want you to be simultaneously young enough to work for peanuts but experienced enough to have built half the internet. Next they'll ask for your GitHub contributions from preschool. I've seen seniors with less experience requirements than some "junior" positions these days.

When Your HR's Keyword Filter Is Too Angular

When Your HR's Keyword Filter Is Too Angular

Congratulations to HR for inventing a filter so powerful it rejected their own tech lead! Turns out they were searching for "AngularJS" when they needed "Angular" developers—two completely different frameworks that just happen to share a name and confuse non-technical people. The sweet irony? Their auto-rejection system was so efficiently broken that it filtered out every single qualified candidate for three months while HR kept lying about having "candidates in the pipeline." Nothing says corporate efficiency like designing an automated system to reject the exact people you're trying to hire! Half the HR department got fired, but hey—at least their keyword filtering worked flawlessly at something!

Buying Gold Seems Like A Good Idea Now

That fresh-faced "vibe coder" posing next to the tombstone of the company that hired them is just *chef's kiss* perfect. Nothing says "I'm ready to disrupt this industry" like taking selfies at the funeral of your employer's business model. Tech companies keep hiring these trendy devs who know more about aesthetic IDEs than actual algorithms, then wonder why their codebase looks like a Pinterest board that somehow runs on AWS. The burial is just a formality at this point.

The Modern Senior Developer Qualification

The modern tech interview process in a nutshell! When asked what makes someone a Senior Dev, the candidate proudly lists their credentials: "4 years installing npm packages" and "3 years installing pip packages." Basically their entire skill set is copying and pasting npm install and pip install commands from Stack Overflow. And somehow that's enough to get hired! The hiring bar has officially reached rock bottom. Next up: Senior AI Engineer with 10 years experience in "pressing Enter after pasting prompts."

Ah, the sacred GitHub contribution graph—where the greenness of your squares matters more than your actual skills! This marketing person just proved that tech hiring is basically a casino where the house edge is "having a pretty heat map." Forget degrees, experience, or actual coding ability—just make sure your contribution graph looks like a well-maintained lawn. $900k for a pretty pattern of green squares? Meanwhile, actual developers are frantically pushing commits to empty repos at 11:59 PM just to keep their streaks alive. The ultimate tech industry cheat code: don't learn to code, just learn to look like you code. Absolutely brilliant.
