I’m not going to get into my specific work history in the spirit of trying not to put more metadata about myself out there, but I can confidently say referrals are still king and I have witnessed those results. I have a hard time believing that the market is as dire as people say it is at least right now approaching 2025. I see peers who are getting laid off get back into jobs, it’s just taking a few months longer than it used to. It’s just not a magical hot job market like it used to be. A good indicator is to look at Meta’s employee count. It’s down dramatically since 2022 but they still have more employees working for them than the last day of 2021. https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/meta/employees/ https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/meta/employees/ Or look at layoffs.fyi, where layoffs are reported at their lowest level since early 2022.
