I am seeing it out there. I'm in the weeds everyday on r/SaaS talking to people. People are scared and there is something really fishy going on in the tech labor market. It's like a big wave that's coming. Everyone says they're hiring and no one really is. People are trying to scramble to build little businesses out of Notion templates and Wordpress themes and using ChatGPT the best they can. Everyone's got the green "Open to Work" It's crazy!

> People are scared and there is something really fishy going on in the tech labor market. It's like a big wave that's coming. Everyone says they're hiring and no one really is. Reddit is not a good representative sample of anything real-world. It's where people go to complain. Companies are definitely hiring, but they're being more selective. For people getting rejected a lot, it's comforting to tell yourself that companies are only pretending to hire people but then rejecting everyone. It's not true, though.

  Second that. I used to follow advice on reddit a lot in the past. Needless to say, it made me fearful of doing anything.

  No, there are real people with real problems on there. I’ve met many and talked face to face. People are struggling. We’ve been building networks. Things are changing.
