I'm currently hiring for two roles for Three.js developers for my company to be my teammates (hit me up if you're intersted btw!).<p>We work very hard and care a lot about our project. A person I took over the project from didn't and it showed, they probably considered it a "bullshit" job.<p>The author of this article is applying to roles they consider "bullshit" jobs and is wondering why no one is hiring. Maybe it's because the people hiring also don't consider the work to be bs, but rather, very important, and would rather, like me, work extra hours every day just to avoid being around a coworker who thinks that way about the thing they (are paid to) spend half of their conscious life doing.<p>Stop applying for roles you think are BS and maybe you'll see people a lot more intersted in hiring you. If you lack the skills to be hired for work you consider meaningful, that's due to your own life choices up to this point, and you should start working to fix that right now.
Even though I feel very very fortunate to work in tech, I'm starting to feel more and more of this energy as I stare down the barrel of endless whiteboarding and leetcode style interviews :(
Won't name the company, but during my last round of interviews I was asked to build a logging app, which took a considerable amount of time only to be completely ghosted. After I repeatedly asked for a follow-up, they sent me a letter filled with typos that called me a shit developer. Not saying I'm not a shit developer, but just imho there are much better ways to handle rejection than this.
