I once interviewed at a company and I was shocked at the job description as it was network & server support + IT support + full stack developer in python, java & .net but the ad was for "an experienced python developer". My career history is, I started in IT support then became a developer in .net & later moved to Python. Maybe that is why they called me. But none the less, I told it was not possible for 1 person to do it all. But they said thats how they have it in the company with 3 member IT team. Interestingly, no member of the IT department or IT manager was at the interview. They refused to give any more details without me joining the company & signing a non-disclosure + non-competence + 2 yr bond.
Then once I was done with the interview, I went to the near by restaurant and casually asked if they knew anything about the company and luckily, a person from the accounts dept was there. So, he told me how the company initially had 12 members in the IT department when 6-8 would be enough. Then on a cost cutting sphere, they axed 6 on 1 day and then it thinned out to 3. Of which, the IT manager has resigned leaving just 2 members, both related to the owner. While the owner's son, a 1st yr cs grad student is the IT manager.
This is an extreme tale and I couldn't verify the story. But now this trend of making 1 person do the job of 2-3 for the salary of 1 seems common nowadays.
