In the Bay Area I see only a few full time positions. They average literally 500-700 applicants each (1.5K for a Databricks-level company). Accepting a W2 remote contract (sometimes from a CA-headquartered corporation) seems to be the only alternative. They say it's a "contract-to-hire" but I'm rather skeptical. It feels completely unlike the fleeting setback of '08-'09.
- ekidd 3y ago> In the Bay Area I see only a few full time positions. I remember the dot com crash. The Valley and the greater Boston area got flooded with out-of-work engineers. The secondary cities still had interesting openings if you knew where to look. During the boom times, lots of interesting companies were starved for talent. When the downturn came, they started filling positions and moving ahead on interesting projects. Look at some of the remote teams closely. Some of them are up to neat stuff, or they are just looking for the right person to open up new opportunities.
