I agree with your latter point, but not your former. The job market isn't that hot, and it's unsafe to be that optimistic. There's a lot of companies looking, but you need to be remarkably lucky or have something notable with your name on it (lucky) to land something that quickly. It's also cheaper than ever for any company to try and filter people out before anyone looks at your resume. You apply, and you get handed a multi-hour long coding test that they bought from HackerRank. Ya maybe you pass it or should be able to, but maybe you've been programming Vue for the last 6 months, they didn't speak to you, and so sent over a React test. Either way, it's an absolute shitshow to interview right now, with a lot of variability in all aspects.

Yep, this is what I've been seeing a lot of...even for the internal job postings that require a code screen.
