I have my LinkedIn "Open to offers" at all times while I'm employed, and once a week I go thru and respond to recruiter messages, and do a couple of "Quick Apply" so it keeps me fresh in the algorithm. Takes about 7 minutes of my time.
The fact that the y-axis of this graph starts at 60 instead of 0 makes it seem way worse than it actually is. We seem to be at ~70% the value pre-pandemic.
What are you talking about? It's an index. The data starts proportional at 100%. Says so on the scale. Did you not read the page? 0 would imply there is no dev jobs anywhere in the country. The industry could go through the worst crash of all time and still get nowhere near that value. Saying it's not at zero contains no useful information. 70% of normal operations is pretty dire for switching jobs compared to ordinary expectations is the point I was obviously making.
