They are going to be really shocked in 6 months when they start looking for a job.

This guy sucks and the Glassdoor score proves it. He also invented FizzBuzz, the plague of tech interviews.

The FizzBuzz guy with 3.3 on Glassdoor?

How much would you pay?

That’s funny, because I’m going to start using them to apply for jobs.

My guess is one of your ads packages or APIs is doing something and you missed it.

And every company thinks it’s the next billion dollar unicorn.

That means it’s working as intended.

I bet an executive was really proud of this. A lot of things in tech are dumb.

> Lots of coding experience; bosses have always been happy with my work. I've written stuff about programming online that has been well-received. Several personal projects under my belt, and plenty of OSS contributions too.

That’s the problem, you know too much. People in charge of hiring don’t want to be outshined.

There are no good sites, all of them focus on making money.

Those companies pay below the market.

Companies want cheap code monkeys that do leetcode. I don’t see this working.

You hired code monkeys.

There are plenty of 4x engineers available, you’re just bad at hiring.

They are not hard to find, you just reject them before you can see them.

I'm done as well. This entire field is toxic garbage.

This is a fake job. Please stop wasting people's time.

It's not courage, it's just plain sales and being likable. These days being likable gets you anything you want.

Any recommendations? What is a niche language that guarantees a job these days?

I was thinking the same thing. Everybody is so desperate to ship features fast that any hint against it triggers a mob with a bloodlust.

How can I find the roles looking for top tier talent?

Look at my post from last year. Most people told me there must be something wrong with me. Everybody is looking for red flags and reasons to dismiss and reject people. It's like cancel culture, but for people with experience.

Looks like most hiring managers just want worker drones. Mediocre people with average skills, not too good and not too bad. Just enough knowledge to do the work and not make waves.

This may not be what the executives want, but they are so detached from hiring that they cannot and will never change it. It just doesn't hurt enough to care because there is an endless supply of average workers.

I am in the same situation and have no idea what to do next.

I truly believe most software development careers die at 35 or 40 years old max. Currently looking to jump to something else because this field does not like experience. People say they want experienced people, but they don't hire them and still go with the 1-10 years interval.

It cannot be fixed because it's an ego trip. HR wants to feel important, interviewers want to feel smart and the executives want to make a bargain.

Looking for a purple unicorn and not hiring anybody, keeping jobs posted for years.

I stopped answering on this type of forums because the toxicity is incredible. I started getting attacked personally just for answering the question.

The hiring process is bad. Real skills get rejected while leetcode gets a job.
