I had this issue too, even before the pandemic. In fact back when I was looking even if there were Elixir job postings they often strongly preferred a Ruby/Rails background on top of that, which I didn't have.

I just decided it's one of my hobby languages. If a job comes out of it in the future, that's awesome.

I will give an opposite experience. I was hired with zero previous knowledge of Elixir or functional stack (well, except Haskell course at uni). The other dev actually came from C# background (I came from Ruby). 100% remote.

How did you find the job and how did the interview go?
