That was developer recruiting then.
Developer recruiting now: "$14/hr 3 month contract at Megacorp Inc., pErMaNeNt EmPlOyMeNt PoSsIBle (butwillneverhappen)! You must be willing to uproot your family and move to Bemidji, Minnesota before you will be considered. Candidates must have PhD or equivalent in computer science, Bachelors or greater in applied mathematics, and at least 10 years senior development experience in [buzzwordy web framework that has only existed for 16 months]. Apply with full résumé which we will not read, and as part of your standard interview screening process we'll try to trick you into writing functional code for the project we have in mind. Don't bother calling us, we'll call you."
You'll find our CEO bitching on Linkedin or Twitter that "no one wants to work anymore."
I have a dozen colleagues without formal CS education. Many without a degree at all. And as a hiring manager myself for software engineers, I don't look much at education at all
A lot of places around here do a bootcamp thing and hire students out of high-school that do well since they say a lot of what they need isn't taught in college or university exactly they teach on the job
I have a CS/Engineering masters and while I really enjoyed learning everything, most of it is academical. I also don't think university needs to be geared purely towards the job market, that's a really sad perspective. But I think we need to be more transparent about it, specially to 18 year old going to college, that the degree isn't preparing them for the job market.
Less true of pure programming, but operations isn't taught in any colleges. It's a different mindset and finding those people is tricky
