I read an amazing interview with a 20-year-old "backend developer" who works at a large bank for 270k, while doing absolutely nothing.
The entire journey of this genius is a perfect snapshot of what mass-market hiring in enterprise has become.
Watch closely:
1️⃣ Faked experience. He added a year of work at a fictional "Monetka" to pass the HR filter.
2️⃣ Bought a mentor. The mentor gave him leaked recordings of interviews from target banks and drilled his charisma. Technical knowledge is near zero, but he has the skill to confidently speak on calls.
3️⃣ Got an offer for 270k at a large bank.
4️⃣ Fell into a corporate black hole. For the first two months, he just woke up, logged in, and went back to sleep. No one gave him tasks because the bank's onboarding processes are dead.
5️⃣ Delegated work to a neural network and... another junior. He copy-pasted all communication into ChatGPT, and when he got tired of that, he hired a guy from his mentor's chat. He gave him access, pays him 170k, keeps 100k for "management." That guy, by the way, is simultaneously handling another similar job.
You know what this hero's goal is? He realized that by messing around in employment, he won't earn his desired 10 million a month. So he... drumroll... launches his own mentoring to teach others how to "break into IT"!
The circle is closed. Ouroboros ate itself.
People who can't write code and don't understand architecture teach others how to pass interviews so they can hire Indians/juniors/neural networks to write code for them.
That's the state of the IT market.
👉🏻 Are such "career changers" to blame? More likely yes. But they exist only because the system allows them to exist.
👉🏻 Company processes have hit rock bottom. If a person can be on the payroll for two months, receive a salary, and not write a single line of code without their team lead noticing, the problem isn't the 20-year-old Zoomer. The problem is management inflating headcount for budgets and the degradation of HR processes.
👉🏻 Infobusiness has finally killed the junior market. When you're promised "to get you an offer for 300k from scratch" — you'll be taught not engineering. You'll be taught to lie on your resume, bypass anti-fraud systems, and memorize the top 200 interview questions.
In such a situation, I feel sorry for everyone.
What do you think, is this guy a genius for gaming the market and companies?
👍🏻 — Yes, let him milk them all if he can!
👎🏻 — He's an ordinary liar and fraudster, because of whom normal specialists can't find jobs.
