Tough times in Silicon Valley, but some hiring

Trovix is also looking for a few good engineers, in particular a search hacker. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=355208

Playlist.com is hiring for a bunch of positions. If anyone is interested feel free to send me an email.

This is why I love HN. There's always certain niche industries and companies hiring even in a recession.

just because there are job listings, doesn't mean there are actual vacancies. Way too often companies have job listings just in case, so that they don't miss a top of the line candidate.

So you can have a company, which just laid off 40% of its work force, with dozens of job listings up for grabs.

Also you have to keep in mind, that even if there is a job there, the competition is that much worse now.

Close to 1000 startup jobs on Startuply right now, and almost half of them are in SF/Silicon Valley.
