It's so hard to hire in the Bay area. Why is that ? And which top companies are competing for talent ??
Who?
Everyone is hiring. Better question might be who is not.
I know many my friends are unemployed with 10 + yoe

Everyone. Software is eating many industries. I’m kind of afraid of what Amazon will look like in 10, 20 years.
