I live in a European country and our salaries will not go down nor do I expect any layoffs. Your question is very US/Silicon Valley centric.
In London at least. Tech companies dislike the fact there aren't enough engineers to fill roles which has led to a few things. 1. Permanent salaries on the increase that also has a trickle down effect on other related IT roles. 2. A healthy contracting market with rates steadily increasing despite IR35. Contractors are deciding what they'll be paid and are still be lapped up. Nothings worse then a late or undelivered…

Europe is in for a very long decline. There is no consumer generation (35-45 y/o) left in Europe, and the US is about to block Europe from exporting their excess production to the last standing consumer generation on the planet.

Curious what a typical top 10% contracting rate in London is?

If anything else, and at least on the high(ish) end of skill and seniority there's an artificial reverse bubble that I can only attribute to the almost pathological and almost allergic insistence of UK employers to have as few well paid employees as possible.

You can see market trends by looking at reports published on the top 5 UK IT recruitment websites (usually published every 6 months), ITJobServ is a good site too for real time trends.

Also noticing this - very hard to find software engineers in the UK right now. Apparently we have a major skill shortage[1] - which I'm not surprised by, given how little CS/coding was pushed in schools 5-10 years ago. [1] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-62098767
