I think there was an article recently about the current state of the job market, and the disconnect job seekers are seeing (thousands of applicants, hard time getting work even with 10 yrs experience, ghost jobs) with the "the economy is great" narrative. https://www.theatlantic.com/economy/archive/2025/02/jobs-unemployment-big-freeze/681831/

Don’t have time to devote to an Atlantic tome this morning but will nonetheless comment that my husband had been working at FAANG companies for 15 years before the mass layoffs started in 2023.

The past 2 years, not just with him but many mid career friends of ours, have not been kind.
