This is SO true. I'm hiring for a software engineer position right now. We've been looking for MONTHS. Recently, we've finally managed to fill the first head.

So many applicants just can't even code. My company is not a place where you learn how to code, it's a place where you learn all the stuff which you didn't think you'd have to do as a software engineer.

We still have a qualified applicants shortage.

    This to me is actually the “secret” of software engineering: it’s frequently doing the stuff you didn’t think you’d have to do as a software engineer.

    The hard part is often finding someone who can do both while also wanting to work at your company.

    Hit me up if you want a job where you'll be forced to learn about inter-satellite laser links (free space optics)!

    unfortunately definitely not.

    my team has a strong emphasis on working with hardware. remote work doesn't really make sense

    That's fair, a solid reason for requesting office presence at least.

    May I ask which country? The work seems super interesting, but unfortunately some countries aren’t too happy with foreigners right now, even if I’m whiter than mayonnaise.
