You're gonna need a source for this. Every person I know in SV is having trouble getting interviews at big tech employers outside of FB. FB is the only one that is actively still interviewing - and they're negotiating people down aggressively because they know they're the only ones hiring. We've had articles here about it.

- ein0p 3y agoDude, I’m _interviewing candidates_ every week at one of the FANGs that is not Meta. I _am_ the “source”. If you have any AI/ML skills, and the corresponding track record, the market is not dead by any stretch. Could be that those persons aren’t in demand right now. I also know a ton of people at Google, and Google is hiring as well, in spite of the much publicized layoffs. I don’t understand this (it takes someone external 3-6 months to get productive there, and some people don’t make it at all), but it’s a fact.
- bradlys 3y agoYou just said it yourself, the market is dead for anyone not in ML/AI. Why are you being contrarian just for the sake of it?
- ein0p 3y agoI did not say that. I said market is not dead for ml/ai and adjacent fields for sure, since that’s where I am. That doesn’t mean hiring is dead everywhere else.
