Yeah, I've been trying to reconcile the reports I read here about how rough the job market is with the fact that everyone I personally know has had no problems getting a good job in the industry.

The only things I can think of to explain it is that people are looking at a very narrow slice of the industry (the FAANGs) where things are rough right now, or people are asking for more compensation than the market will support.

But I don't know. There does seem to be a disconnect somewhere, though.
