3-5 years ago my answer would've been different. I could trip and find a job offer. I was getting job offers by email essentially without interviewing.

About a year ago that completely dried up. I can't even remember the last email I got that was more than recruiter spam. My friend who used to also trip into jobs (7 at peak) has been hunting for 3 months now with no luck.

But...servers and data centers and stuff, you're probably onto something. Wishing you the best.
