Have you found F# jobs more abundant than Rust jobs? We might be in different bubbles. I know F# has been around much longer and is a first-class citizen in Microsoft's ecosystem, but I don't touch that ecosystem much. Shame, too, because I was a Scala fan a decade ago and it was hard to watch that self-destruct, all the while F# endured.
I have found Rust jobs hard to get because most positions seemingly want 5-10 years experience
I would think of that as potential employers screening themselves out without wasting your time interviewing.
The kind of places I've worked already heavily use C++ and Go -- think world-scale production infrastructure with management and control planes -- so many teams adopt Rust in some form at some point. So suddenly a lot of people have, if not outright Rust jobs, then at least jobs where they could spend a large fraction of their time writing Rust, and on exactly the kind of mission-critical performance-sensitive software that Rust is ideal for.

Absolutely not. Haha. F# jobs are non-existent. I only meant that from a language point of view.
