I stopped interviewing about 4 months ago because this, in my experience, is NOT hyperbole. Also, 80% of job descriptions, threw kubernetes into the requirements on top of 10 other competencies seemingly just because they can.
Ya know... I posted that without experience in the current market. It was more of a "this is what it was like a year ago" sentiment.
Thinking more about it... I can see how 40% is too low an esimtate.
Thanks, good to hear what it is currently like out there on the job hunt. I am about to begin one myself.
