i've been wondering if i was the only one seeing the absurdly high criteria for software development jobs in the last year or 2.
this field already had an artificially high bar; but it's taken on a whole new meaning when you solve the hypotheticals during the interviews, yet they're still not satisfied with the answers because they're expecting a specific one that they won't name.
i've learned to make peace with the reality that my 20 years in the field is only enough to get interview requests; so i went back to IT.
