There’s no real desirable jobs anymore, is anyone else facing this issue in their market? It’s not even about landing a job, but a decent one seems impossible. Every job posted seems 🗑️🚮

I’m in accounting. Nyc market. It’s the same jobs no one wants posted over and over and over.

It’s just one of the following:

Startup job - you’ll be solely responsible for 300 things and have no backup for the accounting function. 60 hours a week of fucked up books.

Public accounting - it’s public. It sucks as we know. And you’ll be placed on the worst clients as the new person.

Leftover fortune 50 job - job that’s in a well known large org but you can tell is probably a toxic role that no one internally wants. And even if you wanted it, it’s an incredibly specific skillset that they will nitpick even if you meet 24 out of 25 requested items.

Government job - good benefits, good hours, $45k a yr in the middle of nyc.

Your old firm posting your old role - you already know you’re only attracted cause of the familiarity. But all of the cool people have already left, and you’ll go back into a toxic wasteland.

Recruiter roles = “here’s 10 different jobs. All 5 days a week in office, a slight paycut, and glassdoor says they’re all 2 stars but trust me it’s good. Oh yeah, it’s 6 rounds of interviews with a take home project that takes 30 mins (aka 3 hours)”
