Honestly, I could feel it. In 2023, I practiced ~200 leetcode problems and learned how to create an LLM but I felt like I was the least employable I'd ever been. It was very difficult to get interviews, and even though I managed to get multiple offers, many of these were at companies I'd not normally have accepted offers from. It took a long time to find a job offer I wanted to accept. I do feel that there are signs…

I have never had problems finding work, until now. It used to be easy. Recruiters used to call me at night. Now they ghost me.

It could be that required skillsets have shifted in the past year.
