Been doing the job search and it's frustrating how bad most of the job postings are. There's so much filler nonsense.

I pretty much just want to know like

  • tech stack
  • team size
  • big picture what the company does
  • if they're assholes about in-office mandates
  • salary range

Some postings are like "must know Java, go, JavaScript, Ruby, Python, or rust" and I'm like do you use all of those?

salary range

Sorry, you have to pass multiple rounds of interviews and get approved for the job before we tell you, which is not wasting anyone's time when you find out it's substantially less than you'll accept. Why can't we find people to fill this position? No one wants to work anymore.

Doesn't it cost them money to interview people? What a way to waste time

Yes but if they do find a poor shmuck that wants the job, they can hope he'll undervalue himself and ask for even less.
