The market ATM is really odd. On one side, you see these news pouring and giving us devs a little ansiety and on the other side, there are companies still trying to hire like crazy. I've received 3 emails from recruiters just today. It seems small-medium tier companies are looking to capitalize over this "downturn" by offering full WFH positions and other perks since they can't compete on salaries.
This is purely anecdotal but I shared this to give other devs that may feel like "this is the end", some hope for the future. The reality is that software development is almost ubiquitous; almost every industry is being touched by it.
We have to keep improving and wait for the whiplash when the time comes (prob. 2023Q2 at best or 2024Q2 if things get worse).
Check small-medium tier companies with WFH and try to move to a low-cost city. You'll get the best of both worlds, hehe.
