In a bold move, he even expressed willingness to work without pay to gain industry experience. His post outlined his proficiency in building web crawlers, API integration, and AI model development. While he prefers remote work due to family circumstances, he remains open to relocation for the right opportunity.

His appeal has drawn significant attention, with many users stepping forward to offer leads, request his resume, and provide career guidance. Some professionals have even suggested potential job openings within their companies.

This follows another recent case where a 32-year-old woman, after months of job hunting, left a childcare position within minutes, unable to handle the demanding environment. Her experience highlights the challenge of finding a suitable role without settling for an ill-fitting job.

The software engineer’s post reflects the growing struggles of job seekers in an increasingly competitive market, emphasizing the need for practical opportunities and industry support for fresh graduates.
