Yesterday, our candidate received an offer, his third this week.
Time taken: 50 days. How is it possible, you might wonder? Let me explain. First of all, the notion that nobody is hiring is false. What is true is that standards of hiring have gone up. From a candidate’s perspective, the amount of time and energy that needs to be spent to land an interview has significantly increased. Most people are still trying to do it themselves. Wynisco operates at a massive scale. We put 5 to 10 times more effort than what you can do yourself. It's like comparing a 1990 Toyota Corolla to an F1 racing car. No matter how skilled a driver you are, it's hard to beat someone with an F1 racing car. It's that simple. Smart students reached out and asked for help. Even smarter students reached out and asked for help, even if they don’t have any cash. Can we still help? Hell yeah, we did for some. It's never a problem to land a job. It's the self-defeating prophecy that you should be worried about.

Something is not right in the world of UI / Front End / Full stack Engineering ..
I got another call from an alumni's friend getting laid off as front end / full stack dev.. Just to give you numbers We have over 340+ candidates that we have helped get jobs in the last 5 years . 6 got laid off since Jan 1 All of them are front end / full stack /react / UI /UX folks except one who is a software tester .. None of our data , PM , BA got laid off .. Based on several conversations I had , there might be few reasons biggest one being Rise of platforms such as salesforce /others When you are building or migrating to new app or platform , You have 2 choices, Build a custom one which means building the entire infra from front end/ back end / devops / cloud / testing /Security/Accessibility and whole bunch of stuff etc ( You can also use low code / no code to build such as Appian ) . Or Use salesforce or similar cloud based platform. With few customizations , you are up and running in a few weeks, at max a few months . Previously most of the customers' requirements were so niche that there was no choice but to build custom apps . But newer purpose-built clouds such as marketing, insurance , finance have reduced friction .. Whatever you need, there is a cloud for that . Plus I know From my experience, most of the custom stuff that is built by non tech companies works like crap. I was one of those non tech engineers building software, I will never use what I build :) . But even platforms like salesforce cannot provide full functionality for every business. What they have are escape hatches to include any third party / custom functionality to include your own versions. If you are still missing the functionality there are thousands of apps on AppStore /Google Cloud / Salesforce appexchange Role of UI / UX has changed , they now should learn to work on integrations and making different systems talk to each other . Insteading of building from ground up , they need fill in for missing functionality Finally, there is still huge demand for UI engineers but companies need candidates who are exceptional For example , Can you build functionality like Canva . Even canva founders waited few years to find talent that can pull of that kind of engineering feat. In short , companies need UI talent that will obliterate the need of UI Engineers. Hmm ..Kind of shooting youself in foot. |
