I also had a FAANG offer just before the layoffs started. Have been applying again recently, but don't even get an interview anymore. It's probably time to stop thinking about those jobs, but unfortunately they're just about the only ones where I could get a better compensation.

Sigh, being a developer was so much better a few years back. Now it's all AI this, AI that.

I know, and not sure why you'd think I was implying that. What I meant was that a few years back you were hot shit just being a developer. Now days you need to have some flavour of AI going on in order to get the same treatment.
