Companies have gone super saiyan on outsourcing.

Its a nightmare for generalists, newbies, web devs, front end, run of the mill cloud and sysadmin.

Literally worst in history possibly.

Anything that can be easily outsourced to an Indian or Latam candidate

If you have a security clearance that cant be outsourced or use pytorch everyday youre prob fine.

If youre a specialist on some field its never been better. I think ML people are getting 1M comp at OpenAI.

What kind of tech person are you?

100% this - we're handing out H1B's like hotcakes, sending every entry level job to India or LatAM. Tech is broken right now

I've been in the industry a decade and I've never seen this many job postings in Bangalore. just go look at any tech companies career page.
