My observations for the last two years:

Employers are hyper hyper selective

There are a lot a lot of fake job postings

The bar has gone way way up

It is in general very difficult and gruelling to get a job

If engineering roles are hard to find, product is 10-100x worse

If you have a job, be thankful, don't rock the ship

OBVIOUSLY there will be statements to the contrary, but this is really more in the spirit of - if you're having a hard time out there, you are not alone, and at least one person out there (who has been working for the last 10 years or so) finds it much much harder. I would say reminscent closer to 2014-2015 than anything like 2020-2021.
