Hi! Author here.
> Please tell me where all these seniors are coming from, because we certainly couldn't find a single qualified one during twelve+ months of interviewing.
Are you looking for some niche skills? I've interviewed a number of candidates this year for a scale-up (senior Python devs) in Netherlands and I've talked to a lot of great developers, unfortunately most of the time they had a number of better offers that I could not match.
> I also haven't observed "remote work makes onboarding and training more challenging" in companies that are dedicated to their remote workforce (which is basically everybody right now?). I've been remote for almost 10 years.
I feel a lot of companies are not really "dedicated" to remote work, rather that they can't wait to bring people back to the office at least for 1-2 days a week.
I've seen a number of issues with remote onboarding - laptops coming late, issues with setting up the dev environment (and doing a debugging over Zoom for 2h). I've changed jobs twice during pandemic and in both cases I felt the companies still haven't figured out how to move all the new employee introduction to on-line.
Also, I can't agree more with your last 2 paragraphs, I have the same observations!
