If you're in tech (as most of us are here) it can be pretty tough to find a job right now unless you have mad AI skillz. But in other sectors it's generally pretty easy to find a job right now. So both can be true depending on what sector you're in.
- bigthymer 3y agoI just watched an investor talk about any field that is effected by changing yields (interest rates) is getting crushed but others are doing fine. Tech was probably the most sensitive field but I think construction and banks are also effected. Construction is complicated because data centers are doing fine while multi-family and commercial are screwed.

- johnnyanmac 3y agoI wish that was true, but I was also going around to staffing offices the past few months looking for any temp work to make ends meet and almost all of the dozen staffing agencies said that roles were sparce right now. So if nothing else it seems like it's not tech exclusive. It's weird because I am still at least getting recruiter calls, but I'm simply being cut very early in the process more often, so I don't necessarily want anything too long term This is in Los Angeles by the way. I hear California in particular has higher unemployment than average, so maybe it's a local issue.
