It's like they want me to give up finding a job when half the job interviews are fucking scams.

Yeah, I was pretty skeptical with my current job:

Recruiter contacted me, I didn't contact them
Interview done by Indians, full remote
I had never heard of the company

But everything checked out, and I love the job. It's not a tech company, but it has the best parts of one (proper AGILE processes, separated QA, dev, and devOPs roles, modem tech stack, etc).

So be careful of scams, but not so careful you miss out on great opportunities.

1 Is pretty standard in the industry for people with experience. I haven't actually applied to any jobs myself in a while. Job hunting for me is sifting through the recruiter messages that hit my inbox.

Yup, a lot are nonsense though. There are so many that are like "we want you to come work with us," and then I can and it's no different than me sending in a resume normally, they just want to expand their hiring pool.

But whatever, I hate looking for jobs, so it's nice that I didn't have to try to hard this time.
