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.

Upper management culture is cancer, they're the ones deciding they don't need competence
