Finding a Tech Job Is Still a Nightmare | WIRED::Tech companies have laid off more than 400,000 people in the last two years. Competition for the jobs that remain is getting more and more desperate.

Doesn't match my experience in Toronto area having worked in tech for 15 years. We struggle to fill vacancies yet we have more perks, benefits, and fully unionized. I switched roles this year and was looking at job postings in the area, saw postings that had been up for months.

Pay is the missing piece. Tech pay is way down because everyone competed with FAANG for talent. Now that they had layoffs and cut pay, tech workers are looking for similar pay to what they had in the past but it's not there anymore.

We offer that pay though, like we make above average, 35 hour weeks, a lot of benefits for a tech job, and we still have postings that sit up for months.
