7 months out here looking for a dev spot, state bennies just ran out. My best recruiter ghosted me and when I tracked them down they broke down and admitted that they can't get anyone hired right now, and everybody's outsourcing for everything more than ever.
I get the feeling even landing a spot isn't much of a guarantee for long at this point.
So today, I did my first day as a substitute teacher (sped para in particular), and hired on with some brown box folks doing delivery driving for the summer. Both different kinds of work than what I've gotten used to; also a lot more effort for half the pay. I'm going to be in a union though!
You should apply for a remote dev job here in the EU. I've been harassed by hundreds of recruiters and offering me up to twice my current pay. Most companies are hiring again
This would be perfect for me because I'm nocturnal.
