Before reaching any conclusions, would you let us know how specific is Technology X? Is it like a library or a framework? How uncommon is that?

If it's something commonly used by lots of developers and needed by lots of companies, I think it'd be fair to think of it as a bad signal at least.

The giants (Google, etc) have great engineers, but they also often use technologies that's very different from the general public.

Being an engineer from those companies are great, but it doesn't automatically qualify you for any job on the market.

From GP:

> I'd list the tech here by name, but it's so specific I'm afraid of it being linked back to me. It's not something most engineers would run into.

GP specifically said it it isn't something "something commonly used by lots of developers and needed by lots of companies".
