It might have to do with where you&#x27;re located, but no. The several that I applied for wouldn&#x27;t even interview me because I apparently wasn&#x27;t well versed in their stack (despite being well educated, solid experience, proven track-record, and a strong will).<p>I would totally attribute it to being <i>just me</i>, but in the last month I&#x27;ve received offers from Amazon, the DoD, Intel, and a few smaller shops in my area.<p>It&#x27;s funny too, because I see the same companies <i>continually</i> posting the same ads month after month in the &quot;Who&#x27;s Hiring&quot; posts, so they must have a fairly strong bias against false positives.
