Was laid off in March 2020 (great timing) and was looking for more than a year. IT but not in the SV. Finally found position for which I was way overqualified but they took pity on me. Much lower salary too. So I'm sifting through Excel spreadsheets and writing Azure Data Flows (with 2 Masters, 20+ years in IT and multiple architect and management positions on the resume). I'm honestly afraid to look for anything else, not that I see much available anyways. My wife's company was going through a reorg so she had to find a new job (not IT but white collar), lower salary and 2 levels down in title. I've lived through both 2001-2004 and 2008-2010, it feels very similar. The "historically low unemployment rate" my behind.
