Top tech companies: You don't know our stack? That's OK, we just want to hire the best engineers. We know you can learn the rest.

Mediocre companies and their recruiters: What? You don't have (3, 5, 10!) years of experience in our stack? Pass. You know statically typed languages, OOP, JavaScript, learned TypeScript, but you haven't used TS on a project? Pass. LOL 🤡

The best is when they ask for X years experience on a technology that hasn't existed that long.

I think it has more to do with the big tech companies have the bandwidth to nurture someone with a lot potential where as smaller companies don’t.

So true!

For real. Expectations for new hires just keep getting more and more ridiculous.

I never looked at it that way, but you are 100% correct. Insane!

I think U1 has a good point. Smaller and mid-sized companies don't have the resources/time to let you develop...but also, I feel like they're less clear on what they want. Most of the time they're recruiting you do your job + other stuff, which isn't great but it feeds into that mindset too

So true.

My ultimate favorite is when the recruiter/job advert asks for 10+ years of Kubernetes experience 🤣

Glad to see CACI here. I was there for 7 years.

For those of you that are citizen / PR. Do you get tons of Singapore recruiters chasing you for roles which are way out of your focus area, getting interviews done only to be ghosted after? I had a few of these and decided to not entertain anymore. My general feeling is they use me to 1- get a salary benchmark, and 2- check the box to interview an “unqualified” local only to use it as justification to get an EP for a foreigner they were targeting to bring here in the first place.

Currently working as a sales engineer and thinking of doing a part time CS Masters in Penn State. The main purpose is that my role is perceived as none technical and a CS Masters would keep technical opportunities open for me (my undergrad is mechanical engineering).
I could be technical by learning on the side, but I do want the degree as proof.
Any thoughts or advice or would this be a waste of time? This is more a defensive play.
