I can’t find the article now. But I saw a citation that in office work is back to pre pandemic levels.
> With all the bad news we've been hearing in the past year, how are fully remote, or remote-first companies doing? Are there many jobs available?
In my experience looking for remote regular old senior enterprise Dev jobs with AWS experience last year and the year before is that every open req gets hundreds of applications (LinkedIn “Easy Apply” shows you) and I heard crickets from submitting hundreds of resumes. I had 10 years on my resume of relevant experience and I had just come off of a three+ year stint working at AWS Professional Services (full time direct hire).
In 2023, I did get two offers relatively quickly via my network and another offer by doing targeted outreach to a company based on a niche AWS service that they were looking for experience in.
In 2024, same thing, I was laid off and the day before, an internal recruiter at my current job reached out to me. While I was going through the interview process with them, I kept submitting resumes for regular old enterprise dev jobs and heard crickets again.
I did get the job I interviewed for. It is as close to a dream job as I can imagine.
For context: both times I was looking for full time strategic AWS consulting jobs specializing in app dev. The enterprise dev jobs were my plan B and what I did before mid 2020.
