Tech job market has certainly collapsed. Two data points: - software engineer job postings are down 70% year/year - product manager job postings are down 90%

  Collapsed is a bit dramatic - not sure where your job posting stats are coming from but this is another area the BLS tracks - down from 2021 but still very healthy considering the extremely low unemployment rate: Jobs: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1oue8 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1oue8 Job openings: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1oudP https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1oudP

      All ‘information’ jobs which is a superset for most tech roles. One more data point against the collapse narrative is that we’ve never had so many software developers working in the US: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/IPUJN5112W200000000 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/IPUJN5112W200000000

        > All ‘information’ jobs which is a superset for most tech roles. I should have been clearer. They made claims about specific jobs. You replied with data about all jobs in a collection of industries. And the collection of industries isn't even limited to what people would call tech companies in fact. > One more data point against the collapse narrative is that we’ve never had so many software developers working in the US: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/IPUJN5112W200000000 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/IPUJN5112W200000000 This showed companies classified software publishers employed more people than ever. Your claim could be true. But the chart showed something else.

  LinkedIn postings being down might be an indicator but you can’t just use that to indicate the market has collapsed.
