That's a good point. Upon reflection, I don't think I've actually received a relatively recent email from Facebook, so that must have been due to the hiring freeze you mention. But Amazon keeps plugging away. They require a 90-minute test before even talking to them, so good luck to them.

AWS is a meat grinder and can't stop hiring or they'll run out of folks quickly due to the turnover(which may actually slow down in a bit if the remaining jobs market gets tight). Personally, I think hiring in SW will remain stronger than other industries unless we see a profound recession, and even then it will be late in the cycle. Sure, non-profitable companies, reliant on debt to continue operations and lacking solid cash flow, will cut staff earlier as they have already begun to do. Sectors like Defense, which is starting a super-cycle, will likely hire strongly until things really grind to a halt in the economy.
