I'm seeing a lot of postings for 5+ years of experience, so it doesn't seem that bad. That said I'm not applying unless it's a great fit, so I'm not yet aware of how much competition there is (I've just begun looking the past month or two). It does seem like there are many more applicants than openings, but I would certainly not want to be a junior or mid level right now, especially with how AI is changing things.
