| some notes from my ~4 month looking so far (also after a >half-year sabbatical): * one company (behind 2 levels of middlemen) had "invented" some utopian form of LLMized auto-translate framework X into framework Y AND by-the-way, chop the monolith into microservices - so they needed "software curators", not programmers? But expert ones! * some middleman company, before anything else, sent me to "AI"-led interview, which asks questions and records my answers. 1-2 minutes per question. Question 1: how would you write a streaming service in python? * 50% of all job posting are either betting, crypto, or both. Unless something even more bogus * 75% try to fit "AI", "ML", or "LLM" in the requirements somehow - for the sake of it being there? * 20% of job postings repeat forever. Biting on them does not do much * 70% of (my well intended) job applications go unanswered.. cannot know if they are real or not, or is it ageism? or blind keyword-matching? Who-knows.. * only 5% lead to initial interview ; * one of the hopefuls, went further into tech/coding check, which passed but "we decided to change requirements of the job" * etc. Complete mess Ah. Have fun, i'll keep trying :) |
