This is not the situation for any startups who have already secured funding with a decent runway for expansion. As a software engineer, you're living in a golden age for your profession. Most tech companies are offering significantly higher salaries and bonuses now than pre-pandemic. There are not nearly enough engineers to fulfill the needs of all the successful tech companies. Best advice I can give you is to make sure your coding skills are up to snuff. Use sites like leetcode or a book like cracking the coding interview to make sure your technical interview skills are top tier and you can get hired by any major tech company with a 120k-300k salary to start depending on the company and your skills. As far as roles, data and machine learning engineers are seeing the biggest jump in salaries upwards of $25k bump in last year or two. Good luck!

This post comes off as dated. What you're describing is how the market was in summer 2021. Not spring 2022. The paradigm shift occurred in March and the sentiment continues to chill each week. Any signs of a "golden age" are the remnants of decision making that occurred sometime in 2021.

  > The paradigm shift occurred in March... Where can I watch to see updates on this topic? Stock market I guess? Is this due to Ukraine/China (production reliance) or just the aftermath of pandemic?

    You can also read the news of tech layoffs and hiring freezes

      With a quick google you'll find tons of recent job posts for software engineers and drastic stats for unfilled software engineer positions. Meta, Netflix, and Twitter come to mind as big tech that are struggling, but they are stand outs because pretty much all the other tech like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, etc. are still actively hiring and happily scooping up engineers that are being laid off. The impact on the hiring market for engineers has been negligible so far.
