The market is in favor of developers and has been for a while. Companies don't seem to adjust interviewing based on the market, just their acceptance threshold.

You don't want to be a real engineer in business though. Real engineers do all of the hard work and thinking while getting paid less than management.

There is a lot of statecraft behind governments promoting this myth, so I wouldn't be reading into it too much. The countries listed want as high as possible of a population of scientists, and they will forecast doom and gloom to try a

Even in that situation, the PM should be striving for more domain knowledge than the devs. Devs shouldn't be expected to pick up that slack. If they are, they should be compensated for it.

I'd only go back if I got an individual office. Managers didn't really want us present and focused when open floor plans and removing walls became a thing.

This makes sense from the company perspective, but gaps still shouldn't bother candidates because there are many thousands of companies in the world. Since companies give no feedback on an initial rejection, you can't even see how

If someone's that skilled, you might be able to double up on slower remote jobs and collect two salaries instead of getting one position with the demands of two jobs but with the salary of 1x to 1.9x of a slower job. There seems to be

If someone has consistently bad ideas, you're not going to have a high opinion of their future ideas. If these are work ideas, they may also not be able to keep their job, which affects their livelihood. I don't know if we can get

I would argue most meetings can be mostly replaced with ticket comments, documentation, emails, and chats. Devs are constantly expected to adapt and learn new things, while others apparently don't need to learn to use comments, documen
