    Can you be more specific about the software reports. I am in software so I would like to know if my field is dying.

      I used to get job offers almost monthly, I haven’t had one in about six months. But I think it’s more due to the current economy and it being an election year than it drying up. I anticipate a bounce back Q1 or Q2 of next year.

      Here’s a good one of you read past the doom anecdotes they give you the hard data. It’s not dying by any means but 130,000 tech workers were laid off this year. If you’re still employed or have a lot of experience you’re probably fine. It’s the newbies and grads that are experiencing a tight labor market.

        Thanks, I work on now somewhat obscure stuff. Hopefully I can hang on for a while longer. AI is amazing but I don’t think it is ready to do my job yet.

          I think it will be a while before they can take humans out of the loop. Otherwise they’re going to find a badly written romance novel or something else that weird in the code.
