I also do mostly backend, mostly C#. I’m curious what kind of companies and projects you and your friends work on if you’re willing to share. Don’t need to name names or anything, I’m not fishing for a referral. I’ve just been in the same niche market for a long time and I’m curious what else is out there.

https://layoffs.fyi about as granular as it's going to get unfortunately and that is overly broad, but we can at least see it's been happening for mid 2022-2023 so far and it's not just me.

I. The tech world we need:

Less AI hype

Less HR personnel

Less restrictions on where tech work may be performed

Better hours for on call staff

Less spending on fancy HQ offices (from an aesthetic)

Hot-desks

Lower executive pay

Better transparency in business costs which companies hide in their compensation considerations based on their money

Etc etc etc

Sounds good to me. Now we just need someone to pay for it...
