Openings are up, salaries and permanent contracts are not. You will see the same job postings by the same companies being listed on LinkedIn again and again, spaced maybe months apart. Either the postings are not real and people are projecting growth, or the jobs become temporary contracts, or they laugh at you if you ask them to match your current salary. It's also not good news for entry-level techies, since the requirements are still steep. You either have to lie you through your arse, or take a paycut to get these jobs.
