Hey, sorry for the laid off - I think it is common these days. From my experience - don't stress too much about those job market data trends. They're usually playing catch-up anyway.

Jump on LinkedIn and check out their job board. It's way more useful for getting a real feel of the job market and how good/bad it is the role you want to switch. Meanwhile, I don't think you should worry about the life cycle of job posting - as this is caused by multi factors and inrelevant.

So yeah, mix it up. Look at some data if you want, but definitely spend some time on job boards. You'll get a much better feel for what's really going on out there.
