zacpool6584ylast year i saw a 10 year+ android development experience hiring. i checked recently and they are still hiring
-
Senior dev co-worker currently has "20+ years experience with ASP.NET" listed on his LinkedIn. Right.
-
@minimango ASP 1.0 was released on Dec 1996 so he's only a few months away from some kind of accuracy 😂
-
@dewmsolo Maybe he tries to argue that the experience in ASP transfers over to ASP.NET...somehow.
-
That's great stuff. Funny thing is most hiring managers probably wouldn't even notice it and only devs would
-
Dodged a bullet then. I don't want to be a part of a company where the people building the team don't have a decent understanding of the technologies they're looking to work with.
-
@jirehsrudios: Maybe, but this was almost a year ago. This is the same guy I've been getting most of my rants from. He is the worst. :D
-
I see this in a different way ur boss just wants to hire someone with 5+years experience in a couple of year! He is just forward thinking.
-
I smell "poaching" signs. Maybe he is indirectly trying to say: "if you have worked at Apple and developed Swift, we need you! Just like we hired somebody from GitHub to help our team learn Git." :P

erres4443yThis is what happens when your recruiter is 22 yo girl, college graduate with a degree in English literature, who's starting her career in tech HR at the agency of (presumably) her uncle.
This is a true example based on personal experience. -
Yes hearing the same from the off target recruiters. And the job is in Iowa - I am in NY 😀
-
@Jumpshot44 that's great since the job I was talking about was in new York and I start a job in Iowa next week...
-
irfansyed53ythat's the same case with the React Js with 5+ years of experience along with node and other stuff too :)
-
If this rant stays near the top of "all" top posts, then in a few years it won't be immediately apparent why it's a rant.
-
@simis2626 I was surprised it went this high in the first place and have thought a few times it is going to outdate soon
-
@jirehstudios in much the same way one would argue that experience in Java transfers over to JavaScript.
-
xorith29882yThis may be the alcohol talking. And yes. This Monday was that hard. But may this rant live on my friend.
-
i have seen ads , saying "We are hiring Swift Devlopers, Must have 8+ year experience with swift", from where does this people come from, time travel ?
-
@rootDaemon lol yeah hadn't mentioned that, as time increases so do the requirements. Better be an OG Dev
-
Queman191yChecking back in, this will be possible for people who weren't on the dev team for swift next year.
-
Student: This would be my first job, I'm 18y.
Employer: For this junior position we require 20y+ experience. -
He might want people with experience in ornithology. Alternatively, he might be a hare-brain.
-
ryangurn61340dwell its now its almost possible since its 2019 although still really really unreasonable.
-
sozonome46286dEvery times....everytime....
Every. Single. Time.
Happened. So. Many. Times.
Unreasonable / impossible requirements. -
lvlzero93270dWhen developers here are making a countdown like they are waiting for New Year / Christmas.
-
catbun4292dsame with spark, anything related to hadoop, aws, gcp, cloud tech or whatever new tech in town lol
-
xcodesucks48546dDon't forget to tell the hiring manager that you have that many years (because you work more than 8 hrs a day... only count 8 hrs for a day and the years add up)
and don't forget to tell the hiring manager that you make 30% more now than you do but you would be open for only a small increase in pay because you don't find your current employment challenging enough.
When a hiring manager wants 5+ years experience in Swift.
Swift release date = June 2, 2014
😂👍🖕
