Tier-1 brand amplifies competition, but senior level and niche optical test skills reduce applicant density.
Highly specialized optical networking and Layer-0/1 testing make skills industry-specific and less transferable.
Explicit 8-12 years plus mandatory optical, Python automation, and test-tool expertise create very strict filters.
