location: bay area, ca. experience: 8yrs, type: backend developer. The number of recruiters reaching out to me has dropped a good amount over the summer, but as noted by others, thats typical. Still get phone screens/interviews but im not very good at interviewing so still looking around, but i am fortunate to still get recruiters talking to me. Fortunately im still employed so pressure is less.

My personal observation is that there is a saturation of devs and companies are focused on saving cash so work will be tough to get for a bit. Eventually the market will sort itself and work will be more available.

Sucks for those that are unemployed - i was unemployed for 2 years so i know what it feels like. Best of luck.. things will eventually turn for the better, you just gotta ride it out
