It’s probably AI generated…
ChatGPT makes you a 10x developer, so using it for one year is like ten years of experience ^/s
This is fairly common for tech jobs, asking for more experience than is phisically possible. Theres a whole sub about shit like this on the old site.
This reminds me of a guy who was rejected from a programming position because he didn’t have 5 years experience in this programming language… Which really fucked with him because he literally invented said language, less than five years ago.
I’ve heard a lot of this is companies setting their hiring standards to an impossible high so that they can say “Look we tried, there’s no one qualified in America, we have to outsource the labor to this other country that literally doesn’t have minimum wage or labor laws.”
H1B skilled worker visas. You have to prove that you tried to hire locally and couldn’t find anyone qualified. The whole point is that the qualifications are impossible, so you are either under qualified or lying. Since no qualified candidate exists, you can bring someone over from overseas and hold the risk of being deported if you fire them over their heads - and you suddenly get less thorough about checking qualifications for your immigrant candidates.
This is why I report the job postings to the website posted, and to my country’s department of labour. I know it seems futile, but I’m petty and I have time.
Turns out, it’s actually helpful, I had someone reach out to me saying they were investigating a certain company, and if I had any more information about the screenshot I sent them a year ago.
Good! If these agencies aren’t going after real criminals they’re going to harass you and me, that’s just how it works sadly.
“India”
Well I didn’t wanna single anybody out, but…
FastAPI, not a language, but a very good python library, if somebody wants to read the story
Is that a job posting about AI written by ChatGPT?
No wonder people write resumes with AI. Like for like.
Stuff like this has kind of made me partially give up and settle in a sub-par job. There’s always job listings like this. Of course, I still apply, but man, after getting ghosted more times than I can count over the years, I don’t look at listing regularly anymore. I find it just makes me depressed.
And there is angst re AI hallucinating, seems that also affects HR.
Maybe it’s the first way to filter applicants? Smort!
But what are they filtering for?
They want the best con artists.
40 years in the field you say, and how old are you?
- Started working in my mom’s womb, before they were counting my age.
I would have gone with “40, my intelligence has always been artificial”
Must be binary…
Pays minimum wage!
It’s the 90s webguru all over again!
I remember when I was trying to break into the Linux sysadmin role. Every job required 3-5y professional experience. I’d had a homelab for a while and was reasonably experienced with a number of things, but there was absolutely no willingness to bring on a newbie and train them up. It was super frustrating. How will I ever get any experience if you won’t hire anyone without years of experience?
Did you manage to get a position? How was it?
I had an in-person interview lined up after a phone interview went really well. However, I got offered a different position before the Linux interview was scheduled and I had to take it because I was unemployed and couldn’t gamble on it not working out.
I just got back into virtualizing Linux instances on Proxmox (had been on ESXi before the Broadcom fuckery). I’m considering going that route again as of just very recently.
You can get internship for sysadmin role like I am doing as Odoo developer.
“Entry Level Positions” are a myth
It’s still like that with programming languages like Go and Rust. Job offers are exclusively for senior staff engineers with 5 years of language-specific experience.
With people always lying on their resumes, I won’t be surprised if I see someone posting them working with ChatGPT since the 70s 🤣
Welcome aboard.
South Park was right all along. Those time travelers really are taking our jobs.
