- cj 3y ago> Employment is not the choice If you’re a software engineer anywhere in the US (with exception of H1B/TN/etc), where you work is 100% your choice. There isn’t a shortage of open engineering roles in this country. Nearly 100% of full time positions include fully paid healthcare.
- phillipcarter 3y agoIn the age of widespread layoffs at big tech, it's not quite so easy. And you really can't begin to predict life situations for people. For example, those who grew up in poverty and use the majority of their take-home pay to send money to family.
- cj 3y agoI still don’t understand. The monthly HN who’s hiring thread literally has many hundreds of job openings every month. And if you cast the net wider you’ll find thousands of open & remote engineering positions.
- phillipcarter 3y agoHave you met people job searching right now?

- ikrenji 3y agobro i got 3.5 YOE and ive been applying in vain for the past couple of months. in my last job search i applied to ~ 10 positions and got 4 interviews...
- vba616 3y agoAre you applying to HN type startups or "regular" companies? Do you have a problem with lowering your standards, at least temporarily? Non-SWE positions? Or are you like "I'm overqualified, I won't apply for that..."
- sleepybrett 3y agoBased solely on my linkedin inbox, that's not currently true. A year ago I would get ~10-12 recruiters pitching me jobs a month. For the last three months that's down to exactly 1 each month.
