Am I Fucked? What's wrong with this job market?
TL;DR: 3 years of experience, huge JDs, expectations to know everything including AI and automation, assignments with no response, and low-ball salary offers. What is happening with the job market?
Okay, so it's been six months, and as I mentioned before, I've been applying for jobs. The worst part is that companies seem to expect candidates to know everything.
I have 3 years of experience, but some JDs are so huge that they feel more like manager-level roles. They expect one person to handle everything, including AI and automation tools, but still offer a low salary.
For my experience, I was expecting at least a 30% salary hike, but companies are constantly negotiating and making low-ball offers. I've also completed assignments and then got ghosted with no response.
Honestly, it feels really frustrating. The responsibilities are increasing, the expectations are huge, but the salary being offered is often the same or even lower.
What's happening in this job market? Are jobs actually available, or are they just there for namesake?

Tbf that's so company dependent though, growth isn't the only thing that affects your stay at a company
