    I get random messages on LinkedIn from people that want to interview me weekly, and my team has also seen some voluntary turnover. I’m not sure that I believe the article.

      In the last 3 months, I’ve managed to get 2 interviews and the last one ghosted me. It’s still pretty bad for some of us.

        I can attest to this. People want workers with way too much experience, paying way too little money, and that’s on top of moving to a location that doesn’t make any sense. Some of the jobs I’ve seen here required me to move to a city where the rent is double what the salary would have been

          No, I don’t work with recruitment agencies anymore. Only ever had bad experiences with them earlier in my career, so these days, I apply for positions directly.

      My husband in tech related job has been out of work for almost a year. He applies to things daily and has an interview once every two weeks or so (not counting many follow up interviews). He’s a decent interviewer. The usual response is, we like you for this, we’ll keep you in mind in the future, we just had so many applicants and the other guy is a better fit (or, we suspect, will do this job for less money). My brother in tech has also been out of work for months. Maybe your area is doing well? Our area had massive tech layoffs and is now way over saturated, and one of the main employers of our state (a tech firm) has been on a hiring freeze for months and months. Believe the article.

      Get your resume out and see how long it takes you to just get a response asking to schedule a call. I’ve been job hunting opportunistically for 6 mo the and have applies to maybe 50 jobs and I have gotten 3 rejection emails and that is IT.
