Have a calm discussion with them, make it in-depth technical but also talk to them in a friendly manner. No need for take-home tests or leetcodes, and no need to be a robot also. Why can't it be as simple as that?
I'm 6 years into this "career" (more like a job than a career but anyway) and now I'm coding probably 4 hours per day. It wasn't that different in the beginning though.
It looks like "ai generated" is the problem.

You mean in the US, right? Still hard to believe.
It matters because it feels better.
A person that loves this one must be a total degenerate, and it looks like IQ doesn't correlate with that.
Intelligence is a broader term, of course there are no such tests, only IQ ones... which is to say, i was kind of kidding. But I do despise this culture of total degeneracy nevertheless.
Any measurement of an adults intelligence should include a test to determine how highly they think of this billionaire creep.
I've spent about 2 years cumulatively doing absolutely nothing at "work".
There was a funny case where I was assigned to a project that had almost no work and no meetings at all. And in another case I was in a dev support team as a junior, where we had meetings but it didn't matter at all what we were reporting, nobody cared if it took you two months or more for a simple bug.
So yeah I think I have some amusing experiences.
It's funny because arguably you achieve less safety routing your traffic through someone else's servers.
VPN isn't exactly supposed to provide safety though.
Wait, do you just tell it "please be more concise" to whatever you ask of it?
Should we cry now or something?
I also want to hurt Javascript.
I also have no clue. This Twatter way of communication and it's purpose are things i haven't managed to fully comprehend yet. It's disturbing tbh.
What is this abomination.
Respectfully, I'm simply not paying just for some swe classes. It seems ridiculous to me nowadays and others share this sentiment I'm sure.
Good luck. Are you interested only in remote? Lots of companies are doing the hybrid thing, in EU, and won't accept fully remote anymore.
So they see ~20 YOE and they're running?
I'm curious about the location, you can share your area if you wish, or just country.
Are these applications for positions that are flooded with resumes? (can be seen on linkedin)
Can you please share what is the main reason you believe you're getting rejected or passed on?
You mean to tell me that they don't wanna hire seniors in your area? Idk the market seems to be looking mainly for senior+.
So i heard. How are they gonna find seniors in the future if they don't invest in juniors now, i wonder.

from the ask-hn dept.
Greetings fellow engineers.I wanted to share my experience as a software engineer, which is that USA based job seekers are currently having a difficult time. I would't call the global market overall bad though.What is your experience?
Most emus i found are in C. Writing it in Rust is a good way to learn the lang too i guess, it's become quite a popular lang lately, unexpectedly for me.
Gonna dig this. Cool. Why Rust btw?
We cannot draw exact lines on what constitutes intelligence.
First the general doc then the tests.
Are you talking about USA based companies/market? Fully remote isn't enough info.
True only to some extent, the knowledge you need to be a competent devops is huge and i think most techies prefer dev route though i don't know the stats.
