MS @mimosaishere.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Partly. It's also a matter of who knows whom (first and foremost), then what languages are required. Also how much salary and/or relocation would be feasible in an offer (which pales next to other professions seeking so many credentials). Being a heritage speaker of a language is not enough, either 120
