This reminds me of a guy who was rejected from a programming position because he didn’t have 5 years experience in this programming language… Which really fucked with him because he literally invented said language, less than five years ago.
I’ve heard a lot of this is companies setting their hiring standards to an impossible high so that they can say “Look we tried, there’s no one qualified in America, we have to outsource the labor to this other country that literally doesn’t have minimum wage or labor laws.”
H1B skilled worker visas. You have to prove that you tried to hire locally and couldn’t find anyone qualified. The whole point is that the qualifications are impossible, so you are either under qualified or lying. Since no qualified candidate exists, you can bring someone over from overseas and hold the risk of being deported if you fire them over their heads - and you suddenly get less thorough about checking qualifications for your immigrant candidates.
This is why I report the job postings to the website posted, and to my country’s department of labour. I know it seems futile, but I’m petty and I have time.
Turns out, it’s actually helpful, I had someone reach out to me saying they were investigating a certain company, and if I had any more information about the screenshot I sent them a year ago.

FastAPI, not a language, but a very good python library, if somebody wants to read the story

Good! If these agencies aren’t going after real criminals they’re going to harass you and me, that’s just how it works sadly.

Well I didn’t wanna single anybody out, but…
