Nah, I've seen it. I just went through the whole job hunting thing again, and the main thing employers want (I'm a Data Engineer) is many years of experience using their specific tech stack. 5 years with dbt. 10 years with Snowflake. 6 years with FastAPI... and so on.

I guess there's lots of idiots hiring. We definitely state our specific stack as a bonus, but expecting candidates to be these magical unicorns that know exactly what you need... It's so insane. I much rather hire someone motivated to learn.
