Strangely I'm more comfortable with this kind of market.

I was fed up to see entitled wannabees be paid a lot of money to slow me down by forcing me to do some parody of scrum that they learn at one bootcamp, feeling they were in any way important as they drank they in-house latte during multiple remote meetings a day.

I much prefer a market where people I work with are actually paid according to their skill and ship code rather than power point or worse, an update to the code of conduct to include some inclusive edge case.

I would prefer a balance of all worlds, that would be fairer. But you can never quite reach it, because you pass it on the way up or down quickly as the pendulum swing.

So if I have to choose, I prefer a hard market.

I understand that people need to eat and that it's not everybody's preference, though.

Why do you think the current interview style leads to "paid according to their skill"?
