The hiring process is absolutely, completely, and utterly broken. The moment a new job is posted there are already hundreds of applicants--more likely thousands, although LinkedIn only says "100+," essentially. All the recently laid off, the desperate H-1Bs, etc. are flooding the seeking market with supply. Good candidates are lost in the noise of application spam. It's gross. I'm personally being really bitten by this. I have a very unique combination of experience but due to the use of "AI" and applicant tracking systems, combined with job postings that are nothing more than 50+ bullet points, there is no chance for a human to see my uniqueness before I'm filtered out for some arbitrary reason. I'm actually worried about not being able to find work in the industry again at this point. Might as well self-promote[1]: 23+ years of experience in all kinds of software dev, cloud, DevOps, security, even executive advisor and digital transformation. Interested in remote. I give a good interview and I'm an authentic person. Reach out to me if you have something that might fit. [1] https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathan-alden-sr/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathan-alden-sr/
