Earlier quoted context omitted.

Trump's policies (lower taxes, higher tariffs & trade wars) are highly inflationary. Interest rates will have to go up during a Trump presidency to compensate.

He'll probably see that as an issue for the president after him

From the looks of things the inflation has happened under the current president, and the next one will have to fix it.

That seems to be how a lot of politicians across the world tend to see the issues they cause, unfortunately.

The current annual inflation rate is 2.97%.

Per the rules yeah. But if you don’t think [https://apnews.com/article/2a21e92ed9129e91e713495c9ef50050#....] kept interest rates lower for longer, making the current mess worse I don’t know what to say.

It depends... I've been working remotely the past few years for about 40-50% above local market rates excluding a fairly long 7-month unemployment (planned on 3 months down, but took much longer). I have been approached a bit (few emails a week) for local, in-office jobs at local market rates. YMMV.

I am an SWE in the US. In 2022 on Linkedin I got messages from recruiters at Google, Amazon, Uber, and many other companies, large and small. I haven't gotten a message from any recruiter on Linkedin for over a year. Luckily I am working. One data point, but it fits with what I've been seeing and hearing from others.

Same for me. The only recruiter messages I get seem desperate because they don't even match my profile skill-set.
