When interests rates drop in the next couple of months hiring will pick up again. Hiring will probably not exceed the net losses but it will not look as bad.

I applied too. Easy enough job that I can do during my normal work hours and stack some side money. Either that or put one of my daughters on to do it for me lol.
I had a company want me to have these hours long discussions on cybersecurity. And another company that wanted me walk them through configuring firewalls and security applianced over zoom. I ain't configuring shyt for free and told them the job wasn't for me.They looking for suckers. Most of these jobs are not paying but looking for top tier candidates.
I don't even take it personal on interviews. Always funny when they try to ask obscure technical questions. I literally tell them I don't know. Had one guy try to keep pushing for me to take a guess. I said nope we can move on to the next question.
They can tell when you are not pressed for the job.
I'm not jumping through a bunch of hoops at this point in my career. If you can't tell I'm a good fit for the position based on my resume too fukkin bad.

supposedly inflation is cooling so many economists predict rates to steadily drop soon.
VC deals will pick up and these tech companies will have an uptick in hiring.
Towards the end of last year the markets were pricing in 6 rate cuts, now it seems more like 3 at best. Feds not supposed to cut rates 6 months prior to a presidential election as it can be seen as political. However they can cut a big one, say 1% in may. They’re hawkish in their stance.
Yea right into a recession. At least that’s what they’re saying.

For how many hours a day? I always wondered what it paid.I've been doing uber on the side
I'm a early bird so it works for me.I work from home and was always waking up at 5am but I'd do nothing. So decided why not and signed up for uber.
So far avg like 45-50 every day and I just do in the morning for like 1 to 2 hours 5am to 7am, no traffic. Usually just people going to work or to the airport. And I stop as soon as there is a little traffic then wfh which is a stress free job.

Whats weird is that the fed has already stopped raising interest rates , inflation is down, and the economy is booming. The big scary recession they were worried about never came. A fed soft landing was lowkey achieved.
