is there any data about the overall job market on whether it's been good or bad? genuinely curious the most recent data point shows a rebound https://www.citadelsecurities.com/news-and-insights/2026-glo...

and fwiw i dont know any swes struggling to find work personally

swe is so broad and in bubbles its hard to get an objective analysis

I collect data from "Who wants to be hired" threads. This month is one of the highest in years.

You'd think "past year" would include a full 12 months. This person has chosen a ~10 month period to hide the large drop off in early 2025 as you can see here: https://www.citadelsecurities.com/news-and-insights/2026-glo...

Job openings are down, but total jobs are up.

Their graph shows a rebound to early-mid 2024 levels which is promising but still a relatively bad job market

i guess it depends on what you define as bad and what that threshold is
