Not true. Things are harder than precovid era but it’s still relatively fine to get a job as software engineer (perhaps except for juniors, but that’s worldwide)

I've got over 20 years experience, led teams, worked in interesting and highly technical places. I've never not been offered a job I've applied for before, barely noticed the GFC.

I'm now a couple of years and about 1000 applications deep for which I've interviewed only with two companies (Xero and Canonical). No offers. This isn't like it was. And I'm not alone.
