Tech giants like Meta and Amazon restarted large-scale hiring in Q4 2023-Q1 2024, with software engineer roles increasing by ~18% YoY (LinkedIn data). However:

Entry-level positions face fierce competition (average response rate <20%). Senior roles (5+ years) command salaries exceeding $150K, especially for AI/machine learning and full-stack experts.

Is full-stack development now considered an advancement? I always thought that it is considered less valuable compared to more specialized roles these days. (I'm a full-stack developer.)

It depends on where you are competing. For a FAANG then full stack has little value because everyone must specialize. For a smaller shop, people pay more for full stack. Those kinds of shops pay less than FAANG of course.

With AI, full-stack will be only on the up, especially the frontend UI nitty-gritty (my humble prediction).
