One year ago I was looking. I applied to a 3 places, they rushed me through interviews and I got offers from every one. One was over 500k with 9 years of experience.

I chose to stay at my old job then left a few months ago. Took 3 months to get an interview and I've seen such shitty behavior. Company hiring for nonexistent positions. Ghosting after bad interviews. Heel dragging and super long interview turnaround times. I strongly suspect I'm going to take a pay cut when I do get an offer. My feeling is just that employers can be picky now, so they are. I hope things turn around soon

Back at Google there was a really nice extension to protobufs where servers had a side channel that let you query all the services on the end point along with their full proto descriptors. That's probably internal only though (but I haven't played with grpc enough to know).

I've heard similar things from former employees too. One glassdoor reviewer (so take with a grain of salt) said that they were called stupid by leadership for suggesting that the process might be biased, which of course it is. It also feels dehumanizing. It may take months to go from applying for a job to talking to a real human being.

I applied to Canonical a few months back and they made me write an essay describing my high school grades, extracurriculars, and test results. I've never had that experience in any other job app so it's pretty Canonical specific but it does happen.
