Not saying you should change, but if they aren't engaged deeply, then that sounds like the freedom to do whatever and get paid for it.

I think most devs see that the jobs are asking for overloaded responsibilities from multiple other jobs and they're trying to live up to that. It also became the norm to see job postings which would have been 3-4 distinct positions a d

There's a larger determinant in the US depending on what you chose to go into; entry-level or not, children or not. If you were self-taught in IT or development, then you essentially won. Even the junior worker does well. You could sel

Pre-pandemic, you could get flown out for onsites for the higher positions, so they sort of already were doing that. And if I save them millions within the time box of an interview, they'll probably hire me anyway. But I can invoice my

I don't think the current market demand allows employers to be too critical of short tenure length. You can always bring out a variation of "I felt like I was underpaid for the previous position" which is probably true if you
