I'm not sure about other niches, but it seems to be fine in HPC. I'm getting more recruiters messaging me on LinkedIn than ever.
Now that's interesting - I haven't paid much attention to the HPC job market in years. Are you a HPC system administrator, HPC dev, or both?
I'm a HPC system administrator at a DoE lab.
Does that require a security clearance?
Because that would keep you safe from outsourcing.
It doesn't, but outsourcing isn't a thing that happens in this area of focus, especially at a national laboratory.
