I quit a job in defense software in October, took a couple months off, and now this shit. Many companies took down their job boards entirely and some don't even render correctly with no items listed. Many in-progress interviews I had got put on hold, and now the job market is about to be flooded with out of work talent, raising competition and lowering the salary I'd probably get. Many places I've applied to have since announced massive layoffs (Toast, TripAdvisor, etc), some mere days after I've applied.

I'm fortunate to have a lot of liquid saved but I'm feeling for engineers with families and not as much saved.

Stay positive!
