    Data showing the 2024 tech job market is far stronger than 2023

    I'll start with my back-of-the-napkin summary of the 2023 - 2024 (so far) comparison stats below: - There are 29.5% more tech job openings today than the low in March '23 (and the …

    You've trolled multiple companies here, while you've been unemployed for 20 months. Your bitterness is not helping anyone, especially yourself.

    Tall order, but a large budget for the role would improve your odds; what's the rough salary range?

    Keeping score is still the primary driver. Wealth and power, it's all relative. And the competition only becomes fiercer as those measures increase (the top performers being the mo…

    Gotcha. I think the indie community could find it fun and useful - reminds me of a single spot that aggregates those occasional HN posts: "what are you using to build your 1-person…

    I wouldn't call it morally indefensible for companies to make layoffs after the hiring irrational exuberance that occured in 2021. They're trimming fat. I would use that label for …

    In-office employers are raising compensation to compete against remote companies. Especially in tech, they need to up the ante if they're going to attract top talent.

    Stock market: investors like that companies are correcting for the over-hiring that peaked in 2021 - lower costs & higher productivity. Housing prices: have barely increased since …

    Nice! How would you say this differs from Wappalyzer, Builtwith, StackShare or similar tools?

    Fingers crossed it's satire, or my mind will just shatter.

    In 50 years, $1 million will be worth around $225,000 (assuming 3% inflation).

    Useless statistic - people unable to retire are not part of the survey. A more valuable stat would be % of people over 65 with $1M+ in savings.

    It's the other way around: Dell is making public a policy that's unwritten at tons of companies.

    This is the unwritten policy at many companies; Dell is just announcing it.

    It a signaling device to tell the world that you're innovating and/or not falling behind. Insert the buzzword in your pitch deck, marketing materials, or job posts and you'll see a…

    This potentially solves another critical problem. It's a nightmare for less savvy (generally older) people to evaluate any product, due to the proliferation of SEO tactics. It's es…

    Sadly, I'm both grateful & frustrated that my brain only excels in rote memorization. I have no critical thinking and problem-solving skills. I didn't fully realize the repercussio…

    As an HN reader with a tech mindset, I was like "soon?!?" I guess the study is valuable since the overall job market has been strong this past year.

    Hi. I've never used Signal, but have considered it. Can you explain the downsides? An ELI5 would be ideal as I'm non-technical, but I understand if that's asking too much :) Thanks…

    It's cool, but how can it make money competing with the countless free job search tools? What's your differentiator?

    Interesting. I failed Kagi - it's just SO easy to stick to what I'm used to. The mere act of trying it forced me to step back and evaluate my whole Search mindset, ultimately decid…
