Do you even read this forum? "Negative unemployment rate" couldn't be further from the truth. There are tons of qualified programmers who get rejected left and right. I'm experiencing this at the moment myself. If there

The job I currently have I got from a "who's hiring" post about 3 years ago. When I first started there was a team of 4, now it's just a team of two, me and the founder. Back in June 2016 I was told that the company coul
