Not really looking myself, but just curious to see if people have insights to share

    EU based. This last year has been brutal. Going into this round of interviews I was super confident that I would find something within a month, judging by the previous 6 years or so. I see on LinkedIn positions for seniors with 50+ applicants, other positions with 100+ applicants. Half of the applications never even answer back and the ones that do are mostly negative.

    I think that the golden age for a CS career has ended and from here on it’s just downhill, with a consequent erosion of working conditions for people in tech.

      Yeah this has been my experience too, I graduated a year too late >.< I’ve already invested so much time learning web dev, I can’t give up now. But I wonder how long it will take to find anyone who’ll hire me.
