#2It really is awful right now. I'm lucky enough to still have a job, but floated my resume around earlier this year. I have a pretty good resume and and 15 YOE, and got turned down EVERYWHERE. I used to at least get interviews at like 50% of places I applied to.
And then recruiter spam is COMPLETELY gone. I'm not really complaining, but it feels indicative of where things are at.

You only need to know for one though...

#4This is peripheral about bearblog, but it's so grating to see the "D M, Y" date format with the comma. The correct format is "D M Y." It's like someone deciding to write June, 6, 2026 for some reason.

The roles im being reached out for (senior) are only getting higher and higher compensation.

#7Curious about the perspective from anyone who has a skill set / reputation where finding jobs is easy right now.
I imagine people in ML or who've found a good way to demonstrate prowess with agentic systems may be highly in demand right now(?)

#8I agree that the online hackerrank quizes where it isn't even a video call is dumb because so many people cheat and if you don't, you're at a disadvantage.
Lots I agree with here, but...

Why would you do something like this, it's just counter productive. I've had numerous recruiters reach out weeks or months later to say "hey another team is interested", or even when they have moved on to other jobs.
Stop being so bitter you're just shooting yourself in the foot.

It's at least satisfying these company owners are feeling the squeeze of the end of ZIRP. Soon they'll realize that not only are there "hundreds of employees" vying for jobs but also hundreds of companies vying for customers, and the approach of picking the meekest mice to fill the slot means their application for a customer ends up in the shit-pile against one of the other 200 companies applying for a customer with employees with some balls.
