Im a tech guy. In the last week, I have received 4 cold calls about new positions and a couple more emails. This month ive seen more anecdotal hiring going on in my friend group. Is there something going on? I’m not looking, haven’t updated my linkedin in years etc…etc…
For the past year, hiring in software development has been dismal and all of a sudden im seeing a huge spike.
Anyone else seeing this or am I just cherry picking?
my company has hired 3 people in the past month and is looking for 5 new folks.
it’s not tech though. it’s entry level research and we pay like 45K to start.
we haven’t hired anyone since 2023. all our tech staff have been working here for 10+ years and we only one one tech position like every 5 years.
personally i think the economic forecasts are kinda dumb. There is still a lot of demand out there and once mid-terms are over I think the economy will start growing again, esp if they can fix Trumps stupid shit that has really killed growth.
AI bubble will pop but there is still massive demand in other sectors of the economy. Try working for a healthcare company. there are so many great jobs outside of big tech, but the salaries will be lower. our senior programmer is making like 160K, not 350-500K. way too many folks are really arrogant about their salary expectations
