The Challenges in the Web Developer Job Market
The current web developer job market is tough with hiring slowdowns, freezes, and layoffs at large tech companies. The VC funding is drying up, leading to a slowdown in hiring. The tech industry experienced a massive boom, but it was unsustainable, and now it's returning to a more sustainable level. Applicants are facing saturation in the market, with many underqualified individuals applying for jobs. However, there are still opportunities available in non-tech companies that require developers. It's important to keep pushing forward, upskill, and network to increase your chances of landing a job.
