This thread has a lot of interesting anecdata so I’ll add mine.
Over 25 years experience in frontend web, searching since July, and the water is as ice cold as I’ve ever felt it. Low response rates, low interview rates, zero offers. Wondering if the backend grass is slightly greener at the moment or that’s just my perception from the other side of the fence.
- scarface_74 2y agoIf someone (I don’t know if it is true in your case or not) has a generic set of skills like - “full stack developer” or “front end developer”, there are hundreds of people applying for the same job and it’s hard to stand out. You have to lean on your network.
- Tade0 2y agoAlso doing frontend, but my friends from the other side of the stack fence tell me that employers have been piling up responsibilities, so when you apply for a backend position, you're automatically assumed to fit a DevOps role as well. Anyway, I've found that back in our field it's largely React roles which were affected. Angular jobs are fewer and typically lowballed, but not nearly as much as the rest.
