Employee counts still being about 2018 is pretty cold comfort for someone looking for a job right now, especially if it's their first job. And if you think the wave of cuts has come and gone you are more optimistic than I am.

Nevertheless, it's unclear what your complaint actually is. That since the industry recently went through a surge in hiring (ie, a boom), it's not newsworthy that there are widespread layoffs for the first time in more than a decade?

My complaint is that tech is still super strong and these articles are giving people a false sense of anxiety.

Unless perhaps the FANG type jobs, don’t really know about those.

But if you are looking to get a good tech job with a reasonable salary there are tons of open positions. We can’t hire enough people.
