I love those "throw tickets over a wall" jobs and it's the most common workflow I've been accustomed to. They tend to be very straightforward with what is expected of you and I get to avoid most of the noise of infrastructure and deployment pipelines.

The crux of the problem is still a people-related one- job interviews. I get interviews but no offers, failing at various steps in the process.

And past experiences appear to show that I am incapable of learning how to interview properly. Interviews are the opposite of straightforward and I have a learning deficiency with most things interview-related.
