There are 300+ applicants, but I imagine most of them aren't near 15 years of experience. I also have 15 years on experience and recently got a contract position immediately after just one interview and one take-home exercise. I was the only viable [1] candidate the company had, despite paying top market rates, so the decision to hire was a no-brainer for them.
[1] They use niche and difficult technology (Scala HP Haskel-style approach) and reject people who are not at least already ok at it.
- 5350-uiop-1130 4y agohonestly, i apply for many jobs but i don't get any positive responses. sometimes no response. i have 15 years across 5 companies, two of them faang. albeit the latest one as a contractor. this is why i felt its an ageism issue, or perhaps the market is so over-saturated that i'm just being filtered by some automated system. but i don't want to play the keyword game, i feel it's kind of undignified.
