Google and Amazon keep sending me emails, so I guess not so much slowing! GCP site of the house for the latest role, Engineer, SRE type.

I am still getting the mails too, but as a hirer myself, I can tell you the mails and LinkedIn job postings are the last thing to get turned off. Right now probably isn't a great time to negotiate an impressive comp package with Big-G, Facebook, Oracle, SAP, or Netflix.

  But what about stock prices? May be a good time to reach a particular equity package that is likely to go way up in the future vs fewer shares at a time when prices are high.

  Right now is the PERFECT time to negotiate an impressive comp package at FAANG! Comp bands themselves aren't changing, only the numbers of hires are being reduced. If you are good enough to get and pass the interview loop at FAANG during a recession, the company really wants you - so you can probably negotiate the maximum comp package - which is doubly beneficial as stock prices are low right now. Source: I and some of my friends have recently received offers from FAANG

SRE is software reverse engineer, correct?

  Site Reliability Engineer. Basically an extremely high-level sysadmin.

  Site Reliability Engineer. Broadly speaking, Google divides software engineering into two categories: - software engineers, who create, initially maintain, and develop long term maintenance plans for software - site reliability engineers, who keep existing products healthy, deal with unexpected complications in realtime, and continuously engineer improvements on how to do their jobs so they can carry more and more active software per SRE.

    > keep existing products healthy Are we talking about the same Google?

      We are. Because of Google's sheer size, it does have user-visible outages, but the ratio of outages to (uptime X services supported) is pretty much best-of-industry. ... it has to be, because at their size, outages are catastrophic for people.

  I wish it was, reverse engineering is fun! But no, it's site reliability engineering.

That seems technical to me
