"competent" is a bit of a word there, there are very few shops right now that are willing to hire actually junior rust devs. The jobs are out there but they're all for mid level at a minimum roles in the Rust ecosystem specifically. Tons of people would jump ship to be able to use Rust, it has a lot of love in the community. "Being totally unwilling to accept anyone junior, or who is new to the stack" is a disease in this industry, and it's really apparent when some 200 person+ company is only hiring principal level rust devs.
