That was developer recruiting then.
Developer recruiting now: "$14/hr 3 month contract at Megacorp Inc., pErMaNeNt EmPlOyMeNt PoSsIBle (butwillneverhappen)! You must be willing to uproot your family and move to Bemidji, Minnesota before you will be considered. Candidates must have PhD or equivalent in computer science, Bachelors or greater in applied mathematics, and at least 10 years senior development experience in [buzzwordy web framework that has only existed for 16 months]. Apply with full résumé which we will not read, and as part of your standard interview screening process we'll try to trick you into writing functional code for the project we have in mind. Don't bother calling us, we'll call you."
You'll find our CEO bitching on Linkedin or Twitter that "no one wants to work anymore."
Is this just an American thing? I got a master's in CSE and got a job months before graduation. They're desperate for developers here.
I'm an American and I haven't really had this problem. My career trajectory is weird in that I did systems and networks (with lots of automation because I'm lazy), then SRE, and now development.
I get headhunters calling me weekly. I was able to take a low stress medium pay job for a few years to recharge and moved right back into a faster paced good paying job within weeks of deciding I was ready for it. I don't know what jobs these folks are applying for but I very rarely see those "10 years experience in 2 year old language" jobs these days. A few years back they were all over the place, though.
