#242hey, I joke that I'm the only person on the planet with 10+ years of Docker experience.

I think it is valid to have a preference for employers that care enough about recruiting to employ good recruiters.
If you have infinite choices and time, sure. ...but if you're looking for the best jobs/pay/environment/company, then those are the only things you should be selecting on.
Good recruiters are respectful of my time. Am I looking for the "best", or am I satisficing?

> I was thoroughly dis-interested after that. Why? The experience and intelligence of the recruiter has almost zero correlation to the experience and intelligence of the people you'd be working with. Recruiting people / HR are just an administrative barrier to get through. Once you speak to the actual team you'd be working with, you can start being more discerning of the quality of the people.
> Why? The experience and intelligence of the recruiter has almost zero correlation to the experience and intelligence of the people you'd be working with. Good recruiters are able to match a candidate's skills with the skills required for the role they're recruiting for. If they can't do that, they are bad at their job and are more often than not wasting the time you could be spending with a recruiter who knows the…
Recruiters often doesn't have the role. They try to stir up an interest in you, so with your nice CV they can approach the - just prospecting - client.

>Well, seriously, if some HR drone puts "rockstar", "full-stack" or similar buzzword "full-stack" is a buzzword now? How else would you describe a role where you'll be doing backend and frontend?
Full-stack always has been a buzzword. It means everything and nothing. I've seen full-stack mean "assembly code to screen pixel", I've seen it mean LAMP, I've seen it mean three or four specific technologies that the candidate is presumably meant to guess are the technologies being used.
Almost no full stack developers are expected to work with assembly (unless explicitly stated) so that seems more than a little hyperbolic.
Full-stack in its common usage doesn't mean "everything and nothing." People might disagree about where the exact boundaries are, but there are a lot of people who definitely don't count by any definition so it does convey information.
Those who only work with HTML & CSS & client-side javascript are definitely not doing full-stack development. Nor or those doing purely server-side work, database administration, cloud computing, systems/network programming, etc. that never involves a UI with user interaction of any kind. That's quite a lot of people who would immediately understand that they don't meet the qualifications for a position that requires experience as a full stack developer.

#247A lot of very young people on HN. From my jaded older perspective this is VERY common when they want no external applicants. So we can't call it a corporate reorganization for Dilbertian process reasons and we're only transferring one person anyway, so we'll abuse the hire/fire/transfer process and put in hilarious requirements like a decade of experience with javascript react framework or this K8S ad. Or the bosses…
Or, they are simply gaming H1B and/or employer-sponsored Green Card application process that requires submitting a proof that they couldn't find a US citizen.

#248I went through a resume building seminar once, and the instructor mentioned years of experience are often inflated to deter people from applying. She worked in HR for over 20 years and she said, if a job is looking for 1-2 years then it really means entry level. 5 is more like 2-3 years. I'm not surprised anymore nor do I let the years of experience stopping me from applying. Also, just a tip to those looking for jobs. Most places will bring you to the front of the list if you know someone at the company.

That is the typical answer I see; the opinion of anyone who disagrees with your opinion is inherently invalid. YOU know what "full stack" means, anyone who thinks it's something else is wrong.

#250Does anyone know why the recruiter vigorously tries to reduce the salary one is asking for? Do they get a portion of that “saved” amount as a bonus from the company? I had a hard time negotiating the salary.
Edit: spelling.
