I keep reading how bad and competitive the "job market" is today, but I haven't been able to find actual data on it.
It's like people have this gut feeling that due to the recent layoffs at FAANG, no calls for interviews and the number of (likely mediocre) applications showing up in a job post in LinkedIn indicates the job market is extremely competitive. But is it? The entire job market?
There's no doubt some companies and markets are beaten up but other are actually doing great and growing.
So rather than invest time on blogging and creating repos why not focus on researching, identifying and learning about the industries that are actually hiring and acquiring new skills so that you can target them?
