Not an engineer, but I am in software development; I'm about to accept an offer after only having gotten serious about applying ~1 month ago. Applied to ~17 roles between ~2-4 weeks ago (all but 1 fully remote), and the role I'm about to accept was the second place I applied to. There was no shortage of fully remote roles, in fact.. there were so many new ones popping up every day on LinkedIn that I was quite selective about what type of companies / projects I applied to (avoiding financial/health/crypto and anything else that felt dull or ethically questionable). In my own personal experience... the "widespread hiring freeze" feels like little more than media sensationalism.
