There's just less money available for startups and all companies are rightsizing which means there are fewer open positions. You'll need to be more strategic in your job search. You'll need to ask colleagues and friends for leads. You'll also have to pick companies you want to work for and investigate what positions they have open and tailor your resume accordingly. Networking is the best way to get a job now. Throwing your resume out there and hoping someone will call will no longer work.

You'll have to adjust to the current situation. There will be another growth cycle but it will be a few years from now. It doesn't look like we are heading toward a recession but investors and companies are being careful. I suspect it will take 3 plus years to thaw but hiring is unlikely to ever be as loose as it has been in the last decade. A period when companies were throwing perks left and right just to attract workers.
