I don't know why this is always said here, sure there are layoffs in some huge tech companies. But thats it. At least in Germany, my LinkedIn still gets mutliple messages per Day and my Salary is looking good.

Also from Germany, and can confirm this. Recruiters are filling my inbox and are even trying to call me at work.

A friend of mine is currently working for a company that got acquired by an US investor recently and while the company didn't announce layoffs in Germany, employees won't get a salary increase this year. My friend is now in the process of leaving, obviously.

Where I live (also in the EU), I noticed a slowdown in recruiting starting on mid-December. While I usually receive at least 2 messages from recruiters per week, I received only 2 messages in almost 2 months.

However, last week things seem to be heating up again.

Welcome to the shit show.

2017-2022 did seem too good to be true. Back to the grindstone! I hope all the people attracted to the industry enjoy coding so much they can put up with poor wages.
