The company I work for is desperately hurting for older, more experienced developers. We use very mature tech (to put it charitably) - Java/Spring, Python/Django, C++ for OS interfacing parts - and we are having trouble filling roles for junior and senior software engineers.
Part of that is the company is insisting on going hybrid after the pandemic, so they filter out full remote candidates for long term positions.
To connect to the article, we have three questions in our interview that lasts an hour and a half - in one of which the candidate is given a small program with a bug and we see how they troubleshoot it - the idea is not to fix it, it's to see how they think.
