This is so true. I've discovered this as well since going back for my masters after working for a few years. It has gotten much harder to get a job now for some reason. Everybody thinks they're Google and make you jump through hoops. Just today I have a second interview with a company in a neighboring city and they expect me to travel there, do the interview and go back all in a day without any reimbursement for travel or hotel stay. And this is a big multi-national tech company. I have half a mind to just cancel it right now. I think the best thing to do is have a kick ass portfolio on github and maybe do some personal branding on linked in and let these suckers come to you.

And yet just around the corner is another article telling you how in demand you are, and that companies are struggling to recruit people like you.

  And yet, none of those articles get down to the simple meat of the situation: It's hard to recruit people because companies don't want to pay for them, they don't want to show any loyalty toward them, and they don't want to do simple stuff like help with travel to another city for the interview.
