Yeah. I've been working in silicon Valley since 2009. I've worked everywhere from startups to Facebook. I was laid off a year ago. I did 25 applications a week for 6 months with 0 interviews or call backs. This was all stuff I have industry experience at and fantastic references for. Even the contract companies I worked with haven't been able to find me anything outside of IT roles that require 24/7 on call paying $25/hr. I was making that in 2010. The job market for tech is nonexistent.

    Also worked in SV from 2011-2023. The shift is absolutely crazy. For basically my whole career there, you could waltz your way into an interview and offer anywhere you felt like - complete employee’s market. It’s hard to wrap your head around there being no jobs anymore. LLMs are cancer.
