Launching all the time

Saw a gem of a job posting looking for someone with 12 years of experience in Microsoft Azure, Docker, and Kubernetes. The pay? $56/hour, no benefits😬 Let's unpack why this is ridiculous🤔 1. Impossible Experience Requirements Microsoft Azure has only been publicly available for about 13 years, and only as "Microsoft Azure" for 10. Docker first public release was 11 years ago. Kubernetes for 9. 2. Principal-level experience, junior-level pay. Even if it were possible to meet those requirements, that many years of experience puts someone at senior or principal engineer. Anyone who takes that role is desperate for money, isn't planning on sticking around, and is just trying to avoid the much-maligned job gap. In short, this recruiter is looking for someone to lie on their resume, be on the founding team for 3 different major technologies yet leaving all of them, accept low pay without benefits, and not leave at the first opportunity that's remotely better. Is this really someone you want on your team?

strong use of linkedin brainrot emojis in the opener there, needs better follow-through. maybe next time attach a picture of you crying and frame the story as if you're an absolutely loaded ex-FAANG exec currently working as Chief People Officer for a ycombinator-backed startup, trying to appear as though you're still in touch enough to empathize with regular workers. missed shitpost oppty but yeah this is fucked lmao
