      I'm a dev (SDET) who is considering taking a job at a grocery store or warehouse just to have some cash flow. Yes, it really is that bad. A couple of years ago my LinkedIn inbox was flooded with recruiters. Now it's a ghost town. I'm considering pivoting into full-stack dev, but it's slow going. And even if that works, I'd be a junior developer. The situation is grim to say the least.
