My anecdata is that it seems tech is where the bubble has bursted, other sectors are still looking for people. It is late state valuation where the squeeze has happened and this has impacted in turn how VCs raise their funds, we could see contagion in other part of the economy but i hear almost nothing in the regular press about this problem (except for inflation/stagflation warnings). Maybe it is wishful thinking on my part but I for one welcome the return of "rationality" to this marked. Everyone was playing fast and loose, AI generated NFT and other BS like that, but as a slow and tight player I prefer it this way.

Mine are still off charts. I had 15 reach out today, alone. Currently have interviews at Github, Google, Stripe, and Reddit.

How does one get to the point where they get so much inquiries?

Pretty much just have over 5-10 years of experience as a software engineer on LinkedIn. Multiply for tier of company reputation.

It's not about being talented, that's for sure :)

Though I doubt you'd pass an interview at any of the companies you listed without being talented (in interview skills anyway)

I do okay, thanks

My email volume doesn't seem to have dropped much at all, but perhaps they're trying to take advantage of the uptick in layoffs..
