Ask YC: How's the tech job market treating you?
I've heard a lot of talk about unemployment recently in the news, but I don't know too many people that are struggling to find work here in the Valley. Maybe I'm in a weird pocket, but even the consultants around me seem pretty busy.
I'm interested in hearing tales from the trenches. How's the job market treating you?
- cperciva 18y agoI have several friends who have recently been laid off from their software development jobs (most, but not all in silicon valley); but with the possible exception of one person I'm not sure about, they all found new positions within a few weeks. I suspect that -- like in other economic downturns -- most of the people who lose their jobs and stay unemployed for an extended period of time will be people who never should have had a job in the first place.
