现在找工作比找对象还难

真是全看缘分 你自己准备的再充分 再提高 都不知道对方想要的是什么 对方有几个备胎 有几个比你更适合

2023: baseline

2024: −5%

2025–2026: −10-20%

Even when people land jobs, compensation is often lower.

⭐ 10. Overall Difficulty Index (my synthesis)
If 2023 difficulty = 1.0, then:

2024: 1.5

2025: 2.0

2026: 2.3–2.5

Meaning:
Finding a tech job in 2026 is more than twice as hard as in 2023.

现在一份工作可能有一万个竞争对手，难度越来越像中六合彩; 找对象可能只有几个竞争对手，难度小多了

未来只会越来越难，找了几个月感觉想放弃了

虽然同情，但你把找工作当什么了……当然是看缘分，又不是高考，什么时候找工作不是靠缘分了
