Nah!, I have left many voice messages and emails about Delphi work (at various companies), but didn't get a response.

It was really weird when I was looking. One company wanted me to drive three hours to meet them, but they would not tell me what the offer would be before I made the trip.

I have always been under the impression that it's the job of leadership and management to make the work productive and the worker achieving. So, is this hiring thing the fault of the company or should there be people in the world who are a perfect match for a particular company (even before they have ever worked there)?

That's true. My head is still spinning from my Delphi job search. It was the strangest thing I've ever encountered. The companies I found that were small and nimble, couldn't pay. The world of software development has, apparently, matured to the point where it has gone to hell and isn't coming back. All someone had to say to me is - When can you start? and Where do we send the sign-in bonus? I would, by now, already know their code and be contributing to the company. But, no. There was all kinds of crazy behavior happening. Don't company leaders pay attention to what goes on inside the company?

I'm looking for a full-time remote Delphi developer position. I'm interested in something challenging. Startups are OK. If you have an open position, call me between 8am and 8pm ET in the US, at this phone number: 724-992-8695. I'm good with being part of a team or I can be the sole developer. I've created software products, from scratch, as sole developer in the past. I would also be interested in working on in-house systems that are not sold as products. I've used Delphi since version 1 and have experience with many different database systems.

Yes, that's part of it. I've heard others say they are paying - $2,600+/month. Also, in the US, inflation is running rampant. They say it's at just a few percentage points increase, but gas is 2x what it cost just a couple years ago. Eggs were $0.89/dozen and now they are $3+ per dozen. Milk was $1.89 per gallon, now it's $3.69+ per gallon. It's a nightmare.

I can't survive on less than six-figures.

Well, they just had a news segment that criminals are pulling tricks just by using the information on a resume. So, I do provide my resume but it's after I've talked with someone in the company.

I looked for about two months. Everyone was beating me up on salary. I'm gonna' try to move up. I just can't take the low wages thing, it's depressing.

I'm no longer looking. I am officially walking away from software engineering. I wish everyone the best.

Hey, you could do this: gotoMyFunction or gotoMyProcedure or gotoGetter or gotoSetter.
