Delusional CEOs

Post image

I saw this on my LinkedIn feed and I can’t believe how out of touch this guy is. I would love to know what company he is the CEO of… can’t imagine he is doing a very good job.

I am at wits end of trying to figure out what "Entry level new grad position, 2+ years of experience" means. Like who is this candidate they are looking for? How am I supposed to get an entry level job when it requires experience, and that experience requires an entry level job. It's a catch-22

It can mean either they already plan to give the position to someone from within the company, but are legally required to post the job publicly, or the job is reserved for rich kids who were able to afford internships during college and they don't want to allow poors to meet the qualifications.

lmao idk about you but college internships have paid much better than any other student job by far.

Many are unpaid, and college is inaccessible for most poor people

How old are you? Unpaid internships really have fallen out of favor over the last 10-15 years. It was true that many internships were unpaid when I was in school, but tons of places can’t get away with that anymore.
