Looks like the downtrend has slowed, and almost stopped. This aligns with my observations on local job boards to me, and some programming language specific Slack channels I'm on that have #jobs boards, in that there's a slight uptick in jobs right now. This is good news, it seems.

Do you think that is just the time of year or more significant?

Anecdotally, I've been getting a lot more recruiter spam lately.

Here in the UK I was seeing the recruiter emails begin to return to more normal levels in Sept/Oct. Albeit with lower salaries than 2022/23.

But then it all abruptly stopped and disappeared again for a few months.

It's now started again but very slowly.

I'm not sure really, but I also did get a recruiter contact me for the first time in like 2 years. This is all anecdotal of course, but I'm hopeful.

There's always an uptick at the beginning of the year.
