It's possible that I'm just getting very pessimistic, but at this point I'm fairly confident that companies love it because it makes it way easier to attract candidates and describe one set of responsibilities/position in an interview process, and then bait-and-switch it into what is effectively a systems administrator role.
- jimmux 4y agoI've certainly had interviews like that. In fact my first full time job out of uni was one of those and I made the error (in hindsight) of sticking it out until I could transfer into another role. Now I'm much more careful to screen for sys admin keywords in job descriptions.
- zero_one 4y agoJust happened to me. Now I'm trying to find a way to make an internal transfer happen or decide how long to stick around before applying elsewhere.
