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?

    This is true for companies. What if a specific department is told to cut costs, and their only expenses are like…contracts and personnel?

      This happens a lot in (US)healthcare. The different “departments” are actually functional different companies, so most of the companies are recording losses because they are nothing but the workers. This is how a bunch of companies went to the us govt during COVID claiming they had no money and were moments from bankruptcy.
