kinda crazy how many companies are looking for engineers lately, feels like tech is heating up again. you ever feel like there's too much choice, or is it more about finding one that's actually a good fit?
I look at the hiring threads regularly and there is a significant portion of jobs here that repeat forever. If in this economy a company is 6 months into the resume-acquisition phase for a Fullstack position, they are not hiring.
I think it is more about finding a "perfect" fit, from the last hiring thread there was a job for which I thought I was a good fit except that I was lacking some prior experience in a specific ___domain i.e. anti-fraud, and that alone was the basis for not pursuing it further for the company.
Also this time, I see companies hiring "security engineers" with "Strong proficiency in Go or Scala". It is not like they are willing to offer much higher salaries for people who are both security engineers and full-stack software develpers, they just want it for the same market avg. salary ranges.
