It's not too bad tbh. It was definitely lighter than it used to be in 2015 - 2019 but for an experienced dev, roles definitely existed. I applied to ~60 companies over three weeks in the first weeks of January and had 5 or so interview processes running at once. The response rate definitely seemed lower but again, I was applying in the first weeks of January. If you have less than 2 or so years, it's definitely going to be harder. For senior+ though, there are still startups that need engineers. My analogy on this is that tech is a very, very large iceberg and FAANG is the little bit that sticks out of the water.
