I know multiple engineers who have spent months or even years trying to find a job. How can you say not to worry when the industry has already gotten this bad?
It's no consolation, but this situation is temporary. Everyone is just distracted with AI.
"Temporary" might mean "the next three years", but at the same time some acted as if the Zero Interest Rate Policy would continue indefinitely, so this situation might end suddenly and unexpectedly.
To me the opportunity is with agents. Specially copilot and what ever amazon's agent it. figure out how to code using them. build something cool in the space your interested in finding a job for. that's the skill enterprise companies are fighting for. nobody knows how to do it.
