It is not flooded with junior engineers, it's engineers of all skill levels. I happen to know as someone who is senior looking for work right now. Most of the open positions are for senior and staff level positions.

Microsoft isn't clambering to hire them, they're clambering for the IP. The OpenAI employees will get significantly less if they go over to Microsoft.

So what you're saying is that companies are struggling to find qualified senior and staff level engineers to fill their open roles? Doesn't sound like a flooded market to me.

My guy. It’s flooded with juniors. Juniors at all levels of junior-ness. Including ones called “senior”

I hope you enjoy the difficulty of finding a job in a flooded market one day.

I hope no one does. Whether it's the Open AI situation or the job market, I am describing reality, not wishful thinking.
