#3Yeah, well, won't matter. Those H-1B jobs are full on Java with the most vile old school stacks you can imagine.
Edit:
I'm mostly saying it because everyone now days thinks every tech job is some html and javascript and anyone can pick it up. Doesn't matter how smart you are, one does not simply walk into a h1b Java role. You have to be born in the darkness, molded by it.

#4So the narrative of this site is that they think recruiters are doing a poor job of spamming me with positions that nobody wants?
I mean, hiring is down -- but I still get those spam messages.
(And spoiler alert: I still don't want those positions)

#5I searched for 'go' (expecting there to be too many results -- I usually have to specify 'golang').
I got a single result. For an auto technician.
For Ferraris.

Oh, the irony.
As a simple comparison, doing a quick job search for 'golang' on dice.com yields 5k+ jobs. Tell me why I'm going to use jobs.now again?

Ah yes, the kind of job you can do 9x5 for decades without pressure to use your own time to make sure you are really staying up to date with the fads for your job next year while trying to deliver something stable enough to make it to your last day..

There is a single job posting on jobs.now for Java. Posted 3 weeks ago.
I don't think this is succeeding even as a jobs site.

The only effect of applying to jobs on jobs.now is that someone who is already working in the US on H1-B, and was gonna get green card if you hadn't applied, would instead stay on H1-B.

H1-B visas eventually expire. I think it’s technically a guest worker visa, so the expectation is that the visa holder will go back to their home country after working in the US a few years.

#10Selecting Other, some interesting jobs description including:
https://www.jobs.now/jobs/151415137-hotel-renovation-special... Must be fluent in Russian. Do you really need to have this to do the job?
https://www.jobs.now/jobs/153205684-senior-director-enrollme... Must have masters in Project Management, IT, Business Administration (pretty broad). Also have 4 years experience in enrollment management systems & operations in higher education setting.
Probably a decent number Americans who could qualify for this.
