- muzani 3y agoYeah, I think HN might be more lagging than others. Whatever you post on HN gets parsed and put on the internet by a dozen HN job bots, so some people may be a bit shy about it. People will go to job boards first. Some will ask friends. Some are okay telling strangers they got laid off, but don't want friends and family to know. I think another lever is that when there's lots of people on the market, salaries drop. So people would be interviewing for a month then getting lowballed into a salary they wouldn't accept. Employers have been choosy even when at a market disadvantage. I'd hate to see what it's like these days where someone out there is rubbing their hands seeing some unicorn lay off 10% of their workforce.
