Comment on Ask HN: Is the Job Market That Bad?

> Previously, my LinkedIn profile used to be flooded with job offers, but now it’s nearly silent

Can confirm. I nowadays receive mostly messages from people who are looking for a job and curious if our team is hiring. Though it is mostly entry-level candidates (fresh grads, people who have completed bootcamps, etc.), which probably tells something about the job market.

HRs occasionally reach out to me but only to try to sell devs. So it looks like nobody's hiring and everyone is desperately looking for a job. Or maybe it's just LinkedIn is dead and people use other channels to find opportunities.

linkedin is mostly garbage and is hitting the same social media enshittification that is taking place on other major platforms.

only reason i still have it is essentially as a social proof to any HR person looking me up.
