It’s obvious, you just have to look around. Please don’t tell us not to believe our eyes because we don’t have a double blind study.
You can't just make a blanket statement about the entire economy and say "it's obvious". We live in a big world. Your perception is not my perception. That's why data is so important.
It doesn’t bite me as much due to seniority but it’s still happening
Tbh if I was younger I’d just try to relocate myself seems fun
What is "mid-sized" ?
There's so much vague descriptors in your post as to be almost entirely meaningless.
Because from personal experience I've seen loads of companies wind down and remove internal teams like internal QA in favor of outsourcing to other regions, for example. It's made my job extremely annoying because I can't just tap the shoulder of my nearby QA engineer and see what's up, I have to wait an entire day for them to get the next build and then deal with the wrong stuff they've reported.
Thanks! :)
