Yea, 2018-2020 sees a downward trend in hiring, while the S&P500 was still growing steadily.
Thing is though, HN Hiring posts seem very FAANG and (even more) startup-biased? The S&P500 is more than that.
- soneca 4y agoI would say that FAANG is not part of HN Who is hiring at all. It seems to be almost 100% small and medium tech startups.
- arcturus17 4y agoI’ve occasionally seen a “my team at AirBnB is hiring” post but you’re probably right.
- cortesoft 4y agoAirBnB is not a FAANG. It is medium size.
- arcturus17 4y agoOkie-doke!
- ska 4y agoThis makes sense though, no? If you want to (consider) work at FAANG, it's not hard to know how to apply, and whether or not the front door is the best approach. On the other hand, lot's of companies that show up in places like HN you might not even know exist.
- Existenceblinks 4y agoTrue and a lot fewer remote worldwide jobs than when it's pre-pandemic. Remote (US) -demic is spreading pretty fast. I guess startups don't have resource to use those expensive EoR service.
- soneca 4y agoI disagree. I am one who looked for worldwide remote during the last 3 years. A LOT of those positions listed only as “remote” on “Who is hiring” were actually “remote (us)”. Posters just assumed that candidates were Americans. I think now they learned to specify in the job post that what they meannis actually “remote (us)”. Which is great, saves everyone’s time.
- Existenceblinks 4y agoYour point is also true. Though I still insist in pre-pandemic, most of US companies who hire remote hired a lots of non-american. Now americans are very good at remote working, they just choose american which is kinda good decision. (I'm outside of the US)
