tech hiring is not dead, no matter what the headlines say
with taylor desseyn (solo)
- tech hiring is not dead despite headlines, with tech job postings up 16% year over year and it unemployment down to 2.8%
- big tech is no longer the standard for the market so look seriously at the startup ecosystem for opportunities
- ai job postings are up 7x so learn to use ai and research how to fold it into your workflow now instead of waiting
- join or help revive local tech meetups and online communities since that is where referrals and jobs actually come from
- use x to watch and learn, build in public, and get known for something specific so recruiters think of you first
