I find this particularly interesting, especially as a CS student. Is this hiring binge across the board, or primarily for developers who've been in the market for awhile now?

Because if it's the latter, startups can continue to siphon off from universities (through internships, and later job offers) and the like.

Big tech companies already heavily use internships as a recruiting method for new-grads. When I went through, I remember the big 3 all paid substantially more than all of the local companies. A lot of the interns I know (including my self), returned to one of their internships.

Just got an unsolicited from Amazon in my inbox, a good job too, something is going on.
