I am sorry to hear that. This looks like a crystal clear discrimination.

Looks like you fell into a case of an incompetent recruitment team. And I am saying because, as you already mentioned, 5-6 years before, there was no thing as a full-stack engineer, because we were all fullstack engineers. So saying you have no frontend experience is funny. Especially if you have (in disguise, but you have)

Please dont get discouraged, keep applying to serious companies that have a track record of respect and seriousness. Glassdoor.com is my friend in those cases

Merry Christmas :)

It is very laughable indeed and yes, I had met many incompetent recruitment teams during that period of my job search. When I did get in the door, theyd always ask me to prove my skill by writing a todo app in Vue/React, something I have/had on my git already, but they won't accept that either, it had to be written again.

There, in general, seems a massive distrust between companies and programmers that is rarely spoken about. Some coders dont know what theyre doing, but the employers punish those of us who do because of it, or prior experiences with them. Right now, Im counting blessings, working for a great company, who appreciates its devs and Im very happy to have found them.

Happy holidays to all:)

It is indeed something that is not mentioned often
