Has anyone seen the same jobs being posted again and again.... for many months... I would say even a full year? Are these posts FAKE jobs? I have applied to some of these, but never heard from anyone on them. Why do they do this?

Yeah, this one bugs me too. When it happens with government funding, I think I can guess what's going on. Usually the situation comes out of how the budget gets put together. There's a funding rate that's somewhat detached from reality — it offers a salary nobody would actually agree to work for. And you can't just revise that rate; you'd have to reform everything all the way up the chain.
So the institutions on the ground improvise however they can. Take a lab that's perfectly fine with two technicians, but has a permanently open vacancy for a third — even though they don't actually need a third person. Why not just close the vacancy? Because if they close it, the money allocated for that salary disappears from the budget. Right now that money gets split between the two existing technicians, bringing their pay in line with the real world. Stop topping them up, and they'll go look for work elsewhere. It's a common story with lower-level positions.
But why private companies do it — I have no idea.

No pun intended, and not to offend anyone, yes I see the pattern. Also, I see where they injected their resume over mine when I know clearly, I uploaded my resume which I believe is great. They were all using all these elaborate words that I felt were not necessary at all. Two jobs I applied for, I should have received an interview at least. The questions here are what are these emoloyers looking for? What part dies Indeed play here?

I work in a firm that is known for litigation defense. I’ve been developing my own plaintiffs practice as well. I am able to pay the bills with my hourly defense work, which gives me time to focus on a handful of high value PI case a year on contingency. I was recently negotiating a case and was told part of the reason the claims rep/OC was jerking me around was because they didn’t see me as a plaintiffs attorney. Is there any way to change this perception or does it just come over time?

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
