Example context: a company saying they offer "equity" in a job description, and then later specifying they mean stock options, not stock.

your embedded dev idea is interesting, thank you.

thanks for the additional thoughts.

""The job" here can talk about very different engineering roles"

You seem to be saying there is an area of softwre engineering that is not saturated candidate-wise.

Well, don't hold us in suspense -- go ahead and tell us specifically what sort of engineering role you were referring to here!

"We currently have a massive shortage in talent to do the job"

no way. i just cannot believe that's true. i'm based in the U.S and i'm currently interviewing ... and spending my evenings studying to be better prepared for upcoming interviews. they all do the same thing: crazy programming puzzles.

i believe what's happening is that companies have become extremely choosy because there is a never-ending stream of candidates. they subject to insane technical interviews and reject good candidate after good candidate with the hope that maybe the next will be just a tiny bit better. And if not, well, there's more after that.

i'm convinced that in 2020 the software engineering profession is absolutely, positively supersaturated.

i'd say more, but i need to stop procrastinating and get back to the video about dynamic programming that i was taking notes on.
