I hear the supply demand equation currently favors employers but has that really affected the hiring bar? I would imagine companies that don't hire for specific teams like Meta, Google etc especially wouldn't really have a noticeable change in bar. Anyone on the inside (hiring committee, hiring manager, recruiter) that can comment on this? Primarily asking for the US West coast SWE market. TC: 380K
It depends on the org. But the most surprising thing is that although the job market is bad, the quality of candidates went rather down than up. I would expect there's more good candidates to choose from but apparently not.
Hire process was optimized to be efficient but bar is the same
i got in, so I'd say the hiring bar is still low 😔
