I mean, just because they post an ad for a rocket surgeon doesn't mean they find one. At least in the US, compsci professionals do not have any trouble finding work.

    I’ve been looking for 8 months… I’ve applied for over 100 positions and had one first round interview.

    There is definitely trouble in the CS job market right now. I spoke to a recruiter who had no new jobs on their desk in two months.

    Curious, what level are you and what specialty?

    I have a degree and 15 years experience in web development. The last 6 have seen me move up a bit to doing more full stack and team lead things. I specialize in front-end UI/UX and API middleware.

    You're the first I've heard say that in a long time.

    In the rest of the world, even the West, the picture is more dire. Americans tend to avoid hiring non-Americans, and had early mover advantage on computers and the internet.
