the only reason PMs are winning the job market is because every software engineer is now a PM btw.
The tech job market is in its best shape in years. But almost none of the growth is coming from software jobs.
There are 281,000+ open roles at tech companies, up 17% from a year ago and 73% from the March 2023 low.
But open PM, eng, and design roles grew just 2%. Design (−28%) and UX research (−45%) actually shrank.
So where’s the growth coming from? Hardware engineering openings doubled. Business ops added ~4,200 openings. Supply chain is up 63%. Many of the fastest-growing jobs are physical: data center technicians, installers, field service engineers.
The AI boom is creating jobs, but mostly in building and running the physical infrastructure (chips, data centers, hardware), not building software.
Times, they are a-changin’.

JUST IN: OpenAI engineer reveals he's had Codex running for 26 days straight searching for the lost city of Atlantis, as “vibe archaeology” emerges as a new use for AI agents.View quoted post on X
the tech interview has always been broken. not only is it still broken but its also the ~opposite~ of what we want evaluate now. this is going to be a big awakening for a lot of companies soon. my prediction on this loop is that all new roles (entry level) will be contract to hire as there is no other way to evaluate a strong engineer anymore a priori.
wait we're still making people write code in interviews? what is this, a historical reenactment?View quoted post on X
