It is very bad for juniors and new graduates. It's fine for seniors and good for seniors who have good skills and connections.

This has very much not been my experience.

(I imagine we're both drawing from personal experience, so I guess what we really want is some solid data.)

Yes personal and a few colleagues. I wish you good luck.

this has been my experience. had a couple people reach out to me for PM and DevOps roles, on the Sr / Manager level.

was metaphorically flirting with another group where the leadership were people I used to work for too, kept poking them to keep in touch, sounded like there may be some options. we'll see if they score more funding though; if not, they may not be able to offer roles or pay, but they keep talking like it'll happen...

Meanwhile on places like r/itcareerquestions and r/cscareerquestions it sounds like there are a lot of noobs and juniors fighting for a handful of roles.

But not too senior, or you'll be almost completely ignored.
