Yeah, Meta cut 11k people, Amazon has a hiring freeze right now, things are slower at Google hiring, not sure about Microsoft or any of the other big tech companies. Partially driven by interest rates disproportionately affecting tech, partially these companies are just missing earnings a lot and needing to cut headcount. Not sure how private companies are faring, but probably similarly getting pressure to cut headcount -- would imagine that this would start happening in other countries too (e.g., Canada sees lagging interest rates vs. U.S.)

I just got hired in Europe by a private owned US based company. So, at least some companies are doing OK.
