#Fedihired
I'm still looking. I'm still at the #VA but I've lost: 2 data engineers, 1 system engineer, 1 cybersecurity engineer, my contracting manager (last friday, no notice) and our director just announced retirement.
I've been applying everywhere for relevant roles. Even in 2021, I had a reply response of around 20:1 . Now, ive put in probably 200. I've got nothing. (well, thats not true. weapons manufacture keeps pinging. no way no how)
Im looking for #cloud #systemsengineering #sitereliabilityengineering #cybersecurity #systemarchitect
DM and I'd be happy to send my resume or apply at a role you suggest.
Aside: stuff like this is why I think I'm in this situation. Basically, fake/AI resumes are drowning the market. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/08/fake-job-seekers-use-ai-to-interview-for-remote-jobs-tech-ceos-say.html
I saw this on HN this morning. And it seems terrible for everyone affected, well, except for the fake/AI users with batch apply scripts. Also explains LinkedIN jobs "submitted 1h ago, over 100 applied". https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43631384
