Yup. The company I started with last year had layoffs. I wasn't impacted, but I didn't like how they were done. So I applied at a few places and accepted an offer at a new company just last month. For context, my resume does not have FAANG on it.

I'm comfortably in a fun role at the moment, and have no plans to go anywhere any time soon, but I have noticed that the pings on LinkedIn from recruiters (competent or otherwise) have been very infrequent compared to the start of the the year. So not very affected, but the hiring pool looks a little chilly.

Great reminder. I opened it thinking 'nope', but had no reason to comment so, especially amongst a sea of heartwrenching stories.

It's still valuable data - it tracks that it's harder to land an interview these days.
