Or they both over-hired and are taking similar steps to lean into natural attrition. As for new engineers and surplus of others, I'm sure they'll be moving people around. A backend dev on one project can move to another backend project. Same for frontend, mobile, etc. So little of the work being done at these companies is massively specialised as they all have mature systems you're weaving together to deliver solutions.
