are you that mainframe hacker guy?

I got my last job because they literally made the position for me and HR had me go through the whole stupid process. Like HR had to do the pre interview 'ok, so in the job description it says "must have 3 years experience with TSO.... and your resume says 3 years with TSO, great!' An entire hour of that then 30 minutes trying to get me to tell her my previous salary to which I told her '<current salary + 15%> but given my niche skillset I'd expect at least 15% above that since I'm leaving at least that on the table in unvested stock' (also helped my buddy knew the absolute limit they would pay for the position).

The other 'panel interviews' were 'heres some stupid questions we have to ask from HR, okay great, when can you start?'

Anyway, I guess the moral is job hunting sucks but you'll get a job eventually and then you'll have enough experience that people on linked in are begging for your resume and/or asking for your help to do their job for them.

remember when you wanted to learn how to make a cool website so you installed LAMP in a VM and coded up some lovely example website. Then you put that poo poo on the web and any change you made you did it in production?

That's devops.

A red flag to.me is ending up in those "best places to work" lists. I've worked at those places and those lists and straight bought, paid for, and vote rigged.
