My take on how a decade (or more) of using cloud services for everything has seemingly deskilled the workforce.
Just recently I found myself interviewing senior security engineers just to realize that in many cases they had absolutely no idea about how the stuff they supposedly worked with, actually worked.
This all made me wonder, is it possible that over-reliance on cloud services for everything has massively deskilled the engineering workforce? And if it is so, who is going to be the European clouds, so necessary for EU’s digital sovereignty?
I did not copy-paste the post in here because of the different writing style, but I get no benefit whatsoever from website visits.
I totally agree with you, but I don’t think this is the specific case. Most of the rejections in our case (which I can see) on the preliminary screening were based on lacking CV skills. Which is stupid in its own way, but at least makes sense assuming we are looking for those skills specifically.
For the rest, the company is a remote company paying good salaries for the European market, I would say slightly above market average in many metrics.
I will sift more into the rejections, but from what I have seen, almost all those who had the screening phone call made it to the interview (I.e., rejections were mostly cv-based).
