I guess it depends on what jobs you're looking for. There's a lot of exiting companies/teams (like mine) looking to hire people but we're on the "old stack" using Kafka, Scala, Spark, etc. We don't do any ML stuff but I'm on the pipeline side of it. The data scientists down the line tend to use Hive/SparkSQL/Athena for a lot of work but I'm much less involved with that.

Not all jobs are new pasture and I think that's forgotten very frequently.
