I will admit that a few positions I've applied for have suddenly changed parameters to exclude me, but most of my recent job search difficulty is because all my network is also looking, so getting an anchor in a good place is much more challenging.
But the number of new businesses gobbling up these laid off folks is really crazy. There's been a huge diaspora and in a couple years I'm hoping everyone I know will have really good positions.
- Solvency 3y ago"elwebmaster" posted a completely contradictory assessment of the market 11 minutes after you. WHO DO I BELIEVE?
- deathanatos 3y agoThe data? layoffs.fyi shows that the market has had massive layoffs recently. I can just look at the rate of recruitment emails arriving in my inbox, too. It's all but dried up.
- jvanderbot 3y agoI don't believe I'm being contradictory with data or with those statements (which I did look up). It's been hard for me, pay is lower when offered, and "diaspora" is essentially a huge amount of people leaving wherever they are, even if I painted a rosy picture of startups (lower pay, lower stability, worse work-life balance, required moving) gobbling up most of them. In a few years, I think it'll be better and we'll be in a better non-FAANG place, that's all. And some of us will be working at the next ~B$ company.
