Might help if folks post locations of where they're looking? I get a general vibe (with no hard data) that the NYC area has no shortage of work for SWEs, but other cities might not? I'd be curious to hear other folks' thoughts on their locations.
I changed my location back to the west coast where I'm currently located, and the drop in messages has been noticeable. So I'm inclined to believe that the west coast tech scene (what I consider "new" tech) has been hit harder. On the east coast there's still a decent amount of tech openings in finance, defense, and other old school/traditional industries.
