These are some statistics, I just saw on Blind. I didn’t independently verify it.

The trends aren’t good and that’s before MS just announced a 6% reduction in headcount and doesn’t take into account enterprise devs where most people work.

There are also more people entering the field.

Undoubtedly we are also going to see massive offshoring wave for years to come. Big tech is going to downsize and there is just little sense for most non-tech companies in hiring American software engineers when offices can be spun up elsewhere like India.
