Mine is too. Absolutely no outreach from the major players however. Mostly AI startups with a few larger/older SaaS startups sprinkled in.

No, but it used to be.

What mediums are you using for recruiters to contact you? Do you have a linked-in or are you applying directly to recruiting companies? Are you active anywhere else?

Genuinely interested in how you're receiving so many recruitment emails. That used to be my go to way to hit the job market.

I'm not applying at all! Happy employed and not looking. They're mailing me through linkedIn (i have a profile, and it's not set to looking and i'm completely inactive there), and or finding my email on the internet somehow and going direct.

Thanks, I must just be going through a string of bad luck. I have a profile on Linkedin and my email is out there. Hoping things change for the better. I was laid off not long after Covid and have been having trouble finding something steady since.

Depends on your geo. If you're in the Bay, NYC, and maybe a few other hubs hiring remains strong.

The "inshoring" hubs like RTP and Denver or those hubs that are dominated by a handful of oversized companies like Seattle are the worst impacted.

I get lots of AI companies in my inbox, not much else. Surprisingly I got a bite recently because my linkedin says I have worked with eBPF.

Nope its totally dead

Mine is, but it’s AI generated slop from gmail addresses, for some kind of scam
