The problem is, in the US even jobs where you will actually be maintaining legacy enterprise systems are advertised like this these days. Having seen so many job ads in this style recently, some cooked up as job-bait by recruiters, I tend to trust ads with more grounded language.
We really are doing what the ad says. It's unfortunate that many people use bait-and-switch. We specifically tried to choose the wording to be as forthcoming as possible.
I believe you - I was just addressing plinkplonk's broader point about ads in this style and offering my own recent experience in the job market as a counterexample.
Sure, but this is a YC funded startup (iirc) and I have a fair idea what they are doing and I am fairly certain that the ad describes what they actually do/want. What is wrong with the Indian sw "scene" is the almost complete absence of such companies .
Who cares about professional recruiters pitches anyway? :-) .Most of them are liars and cheats (or so it is safer to assume, at least hereabouts), but yes, fair point!
