Don't fret about the state of the market - you can't do anything and it is irrelevant.
Focus on making sure your skills are up to date and you network and put yourself in the best position.
If there are a hundred less roles, it doesn't matter if you are in the top 10%, even the top 50% - just be better than average and you'll be fine.
I don't know the intention of the author, but I see like a lot of "Look, it's happening! The economy is going down!" posts pop up these days. Which may be true, but it can also be a self-fulfilling profecy if everyone is doing that on all platforms. Which would be a shame. I'm not saying HN and other platforms should censor (/ take action) either. It's just a thought I have on this subject, and I don't know if there…
This could be considered a good thing. The whole point of increasing interest rates is to lower business investment and consumer purchasing power, which is what we need to do to combat inflation (or magically fix all supply chain issues.)
Lower wages, lower job mobility, asset deflation, consumable inflation -- YAY!

Can we get a "Who is firing?" post going?

This isn’t 1980, raising interest rates doesn’t fix supply chain issues. This isn’t inflation it’s a real supply shortage. By the fed doesn’t seem to know how to help with that so, let’s just tank everything. Killing demand to get workers back to lower wages and unemployment up seems to be that real goal.

Well, third quarter in the row — now it is finally a recession, or what?
Nah, that’s how it was defined historically, it has been changed to be defined in another way in order to influence certain demographics.
When people hear these anecdotes, check yourself! In an era of fake news and bubbles you have to be accountable to yourself by researching if common sayings are really true before sharing them.

Why am I being downvoted? All this is is a data point showing that rising interest rates don't have to bring down inflation.
Has anyone actually gotten much success in either direction (hirer/candidate) from these posts?
