Hmm anecdotally I’m seeing a lot of hiring in all places ranging from faang to startups. So tech hiring is not evenly distributed.

seanmcdirmid•1h ago

It could be FAANG retreating from HCOLs to LCOLs with the hope that they can make up the expertise gap with AI.

Are those job posts or actual hires?

Yes, I was going to ask the same question. Article on the topic:

That's hiring for people with AI skills. If you're not in AI, you're fked right now.

There is definitely hiring going on, but having seen this now from the hiring manager side, companies are flooded with candidates because of all the tech layoffs.

So yes, companies are hiring, but it’s hard to get hired right now because of the volume of candidates.

Not impossible, but definitely harder.

anecdata: after lay off 10 months ago, I suddenly got 3 offers in July and I am employed now.

I think it's the BBB that fixed the tax code issue - just a guess.
