They are hard enough to find that they are willing to fly in candidates from across the country.

  If you're a unicorn-grade developer (God-tier school, significant time solving Major Problems), maybe. My job search experience has been that it's pretty much "perfect match or gtfo". If I had a nickel for every time I heard "While we were impressed with your qualifications, we decided to go ahead with another candidate with more experience in the tech stack we're using. Best of luck in your job search" I could pay my internet bill at least.

    LPT: "More experience in our tech stack" generally means they just didn't like you.

    > If you're a unicorn-grade developer (God-tier school, significant time solving Major Problems), maybe. I'm not from a God-tier school, but I've been on teams solving non-trivial problems. And I was flown across the country before I had experience like that. > My job search experience has been that it's pretty much "perfect match or gtfo". I've seen a lot of that, too. Maybe their own nth degree persnicketiness is why they have problems filling positions and are willing to fly people in from far away. I was once flown halfway across the country by a medium-small webdev company just north of the golden gate bridge.
