Interesting to see this summary - it's fascinating as it seems a lot of the lay offs haven't been SEs... is anyone else picking that up? SEs seem to continue to be core to business, solving problems etc.

I think you mean this link: [https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/01/tech-layoffs-2023-list/](https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/01/tech-layoffs-2023-list/) But yeah a lot of layoffs aren't SWEs, but there has been an increase in SWE layoffs in 2023 as well. I was at Will Sentance's talk yesterday about the market in 2024 and I strongly disagree with the narrative that SWE jobs are changing. His premise was that Non-tech companies are hiring laidoff FAANG engineers to bring the same engineering bar to the non-tech companies, resulting in a ton of SWE jobs moving to traditionally non-tech companies. Just not seeing that whatsoever. I'm seeing CODESMITH GRADS go to non-tech companies because they can't get hired at top tier companies in this market (because of the market, not because of Codesmith). I'm seeing tech companies hiring very reasonably right now in mid level, senior and higher roles and I'm seeing the non-tech companies BUYING TECH from tech companies and not BUILDING IT themselves. This is what I'm seeing in the data.
