the dental practice i go to (maybe went to at this point) lost their new dentist because she couldn't find a fuckin house out here on 250k a year. they're hiring at 300k+ with no takers in 10 months.

Where I live the average house price went up to $950k. If you have a family or want a house with space around it you are looking at $1.5million+ at least. To buy a house where I am you are probably looking at $10-15k per month mortgage. To rent is $4-5k per month.

year round rentals are few and far between these days. You might get a room in a house for $1-3k per month these days. Most houses were turned into short term vacation rentals or are 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. homes for people. There are new housing developments in the area that were mandated to be built by CA but the brand new houses are going on the market north of a million dollars.

our contingent of old people refuses to approach anything in a timely manner, they're still "planning" to talk about zoning changes next year.

Yeah it really seems to me like this is more a case where the bottom is really bad right now. Middle and Senior level hasn't been too bad to me or my group of friends/coworkers, but that's definitely just a personal anecdote. It also depends on what part of the market you're trying to land in. Lower Middle and to a greater extent middle market tech firms seem like they're not terrible, but good luck trying to get into upper middle/fortune level companies right now. Those are definitely brutal.



Honestly I think the resume and interview skill part is so incredibly overlooked by all the people blaming and complaining about the job market. I am pretty regularly involved with screening people, and participating in interviews, and holy shit there are some bad resumes out there and people who have no idea how to talk in an interview.

I have a pretty big interview on Friday, any generic tips you could give me?

Go down on the interviewer.

Don't try to sell them on investing in meetcute

[Zealot]

MeetCute is as sure a thing as there's ever going to be, but if I can't get the money I need to market it correctly it's never going to take off.

Just go on LinkedIn and lie to all of your investors about your customer base and after they invest use that money to actually get customers.

That's what 99% of startups do anyway.

I had not considered lying, this is good advice.

This is the part of business that is the biggest barrier to me starting up a company. I just don't have the ability to lie my way into getting people to give me money.

Not the person you asked, but I'll say, keep in mind your pitch should be how what you can do and your skills can solve the problems they have. There's an adage that "people don't care about what you need they care about what they need".

Don't you worry about <blank>. Let me worry about <blank>.

Sorry I couldn't resist.

What kind of duplicitous Jew with political aspirations are you?

Why not just do a GofundMe or, like was said, just pull a Musk and sell a product with the promise of customers?

Lots of life changing advice on this page.
