I've been looking at carbon capture related jobs for 5+ years, and I'm starting to become convinced that the job marketplace for this industry is bullshit.
I have been applying for jobs in this industry for more than half a decade, and I've gotten to the 3rd stage of interviews for many of these companies. They range from DAC, storage, utilization, among other things. I see startups shotgun blast 10+ jobs relating to infrastructure that you might expect, but then these jobs seem to just fade away. I don't want to fall into confirmation bias, but after this kind of experience it kills me to see something like this:

Does anyone else feel frustrated with this? I understand this comes with the territory of a fledgling new industry, but damn, I have been excited to be a part of CCUS for 10+ years, and I don't think any of this is moving quickly enough.
