Speaking for Amazon, fulfillment numbers probably more than offset any high-salaried tech/behind a computer type jobs. So while the number didn’t change, the expense is significantly less.

It’s wild. Never had this much issue ever before. I have a job but mentally ready to get away from it. At this point my wife and I just making plans for me to exit the job market and focus 100 percent of my time on growing my business. I’ve talk to quite a few people with far more school and consistent work resumes having the same problem. I was late to the 9-5 way of life and it’s time to just exit it again personally.
Being self-employed is the way to go.
Simple: It's showing just how much of an advantage employers have for positions in the tech world that typically pad more and AI cannot really touch right now as it involves a lot of human interaction (Project Management & Customer Success all come to mind)

Anyone here having projects to do before (or after) speaking with the hiring manager?
I've had spreadsheet exercises, case studies/scenarios (usually takes more than an hour) as well as others who have you placing them in a PPT presentation.
I think I will stop doing this (as I do not do pre-recorded video interview submissions) as I've gotten through every assignment and had great feedback regarding calls, the get the No-reply email.
Funny story:
-Had an interview yesterday @ 5:30p EST
-Clicked the Zoom link @ time; invalid link
-Tried a few times and also called the Zoom link, same result
-Emailed the d the lady ... email bounced back! Your message wasn't delivered to PERSON@company.com because the address couldn't be found, or is unable to receive mail.
that was funny to me

My manager was telling me how horrible the job market is. We're trying to fill a Sales Engineer req in Costa Rica and he said they got 120 applicants in a day.
One of his colleagues with a PhD has been on the market for over a year too. Just crazy times.
