> Margaret Quigley, 27, a techie with some coding experience, is on the hunt for a job in San Francisco.
> Quigley, who previously worked at a popular consumer start-up, has been job hunting for five months. She recently rejected one start-up's offer, a one- to two-month tryout — without pay. Quigley said she has also rejected multiple sales job offers and an offer that was in the right field but came in too low.
I'm sorry but... what? Not everyone can do software development. This bit makes it seem like any person who is considered a techie can now land a cushy job.
If you don't know what you're doing, expect really bad offers. Maybe take an internship and make a name for yourself. I had to work basically minimum wage for about six months at my first startup gig and that propelled me to what I'm doing today. Not sure what that bit was about.
> It's a tough time to be job hunting in Silicon Valley, and things are about to get a lot harder for individuals with certain skills.
I just got a job in the Bay Area so again, I don't think these are valid points in this article.
