> I noticed many months later after I turned them down that they were still trying to fill the position. This is an employer just shooting themselves in the foot. They created their own "labor shortage". These are the companies that for whatever bullshit internal political reasons don't actually want to hire. When a company actually wants to hire they move fast. In the last 10 years I got my last 3 jobs after a single 30-45 minute conversation with CTO or team lead.
