The startup I was at previously laid most people off in early 2021. I spent 2 days applying to a bunch of jobs that seemed interesting and spent the following 3 weeks with a pretty full schedule of interviews. Received several offers and was able to pick my favorite.

I have been feeling out the market the last couple months, applying mainly for jobs that match my exact experience, and have had exactly 1 phone screen. In the past I have been told I interview very well and haven't received many rejections after getting to talk to a person. But things are definitely different now.

If current job has to do big layoffs, which feels like it could happen in the next year or two, it's going to be rough.
