Software engineering jobs were heaven for a few decades. Until Corona, if you're an engineer, recruiters would bombard you with offers. Yet, everything changed overnight.

According to Vice, based on a December survey conducted by Blind on 9,338 software developers, almost 90% of software engineers polled in the study stated that ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ ๐—ท๐—ผ๐—ฏ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ฐ, with 66 percent saying it is "much harder."

Almost 80% of those surveyed claimed that ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ท๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ด๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜ ๐˜†๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ. If they lost their job today, only 6% of software engineers were "extremely confident" they could find another with the same total remuneration, while 32% stated they were "not at all confident."

In addition, ๐—”๐—œ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—น๐˜† ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ฒ, and there are indications that the coding field is about to undergo a radical shift. It is possible to write code 6% faster using these tools, which will only grow.

What is announced in this year:

๐Ÿ”น Amazon will lay off several hundred staff in Prime Video and 5% of Audible division's workforce
๐Ÿ”น Amazon's Twitch will cut 500 employees, about 35% of staff
๐Ÿ”น Unity Software will cut 25% of staff in the 'company reset' continuation
๐Ÿ”น Google confirms just laid off around a thousand employees

So, the crisis continues, and it is hard to say when it will stabilize.
