    5? I know some in the industry who have been out for 30 months. Talented and experienced, as well.

      That sucks, that’s way beyond what anyone I’ve met has been out for. They’re either very specialized, in an area that requires in-person work (and they’re not nearby to anyone), or there’s something that’s red-flagging them.

        Infrastructure orchestration with kubes and mgmtConfig from bazel for Ai, and he can build it up like that if he was airlifted into the jungle with a laptop and a Google DC truck. BSc, BEng, MSc, in 6 years via our military officer programme; which means he could probably plan and mount a strong defence of his architecture on a whiteboard with markers or in the mud with troopies. Whip-smart, this one guy. Resume with all the FAANGs on them.

        We have been consistently baffled; like, does he want a real wage, or did he broil the neighbour and eat a leftover leg during the interview?

          It sounds like he’s an Operations/SRE specialist, but his quals seem like he’d be overqualified for most Ops/SRE roles unless it’s a director or VP. Especially with the shift to devops, he might need to shift domains or grow out of pure Ops work. It’s going to be nearly impossible to hire into an Architect or Director role unless he already has that on his resume.
