> Stop saying that because that message is clearly not resonating with people I’m not a politician running for office, so fortunately I don’t have to make it resonate with people. I will continue to say it because it’s true. > And that goes back to the original problem -- there are fewer jobs than there were before. I have ZERO data to back this up but just my own personal anecdotes but it feels like at least for web developers that companies are laying off people AND hiring people back at lower wages. I prefer to believe things that are based on data and evidence rather than feelings, even if it goes against whatever preconceived notions I may have. Here’s an anecdote for you: I’m a developer and found a new job about 2 years ago, after the big tech layoffs started happening, and went from starting my search to offer signed in about 5 weeks, give or take. I still work for this same company and since the whole company is fully remote, there are going to be no RTO mandates, ever. I make more money than I have at any previous job in my prior 20 years in the profession. I have several close friends in similar positions as me. The job market is doing great! What do we do now? |

I am happy for you. I know people use this kind of as a backhanded way like "bless your soul" in Texas but I really mean it. I am happy for you.
I hope I can get there as well. T_T
