The PROBLEM is that all the job ads require you to have those skills that are impossible to very expensive to acquire if you're not employed at such a company that lets you experiment with that stuff you mentioned.
I write monoliths and I have only experimental experience with cloud, microservice, k8s, lambdas (no-sql is a no brainer).
I can not find a job. All the recruiters offering any Go job, demand knowledge of exactly that. But since I'm a single guy with a currently non-existant budget I chose the cheapest way, monolith with a single database on a single server.
How am I supposed to acquire those skills? I don't have the time, motivation or the money to throw at expensive cloud or write overly complicated microservices with events. I need to get things done, not play with tech that my clueless employer wants, because they watched so Kelsey Hightower video.
