companies with consistent revenue are doubling down on hiring atm - think Atlassian, Cloudflare, etc

Be wary of taking a job with a tool maker. They can be hit hardest, eventually.

I'm not so sure. Atlassian doubled down on hiring through the last slump (2008-2012) and it seems to have paid off for them.

Depends on the size of the tool maker, I guess.
