The job market's flooded with tech talent right now—probably more than we've seen in years. Developers, engineers, designers, you name it. Yet here's the kicker: companies keep saying they can't find the right people.

What's the disconnect? Are hiring standards too rigid? Is it a skills mismatch? Or maybe the "right talent" just doesn't want what's being offered anymore—whether that's equity in uncertain projects, below-market rates, or vague role descriptions.

Seems like there's plenty of supply. The demand side? That's where things get murky.

To put it simply, the company wants to take advantage without paying, while pretending to be serious and not being able to find anyone.

Simply put, the company wants to buy a Rolls Royce at a low price, but why?

It's ridiculous, the company still wants to use Options to fool people, it's laughable.

From a quantitative perspective, this is a typical imbalance of the supply and demand curve - the supply side is overflowing while the demand side is shrinking, somewhat resembling the symptoms before the wave of layoffs in the crypto world in 2022.

In simple terms, Party A wants free labor and they have to bring their own food.

In simple terms, the company wants free labor, and they expect you to bring your own food.

It's the same old trap, the company wants a junior engineer with ten years of experience, but also wants to cut the salary in half, then complains that "it's hard to find talent."

Haha, okay, to put it bluntly, the company wants free genius workers but doesn’t want to pay.

In simple terms, the company wants something but doesn't want to pay for it, what can be done?

Simply put, the company wants to buy a Rolls Royce at a low price, yet blames the talent for not cooperating.
