nope, but the process is worse

- Much less resposnes

- For your sanity you want to make sure there aren't obvious signs of something being a ghost job, an H1B hire, an internal hire, or a farce because "we're always growing" (lying).

- expect longer processes. Hasn't happened to me but 7+ stage interview processes is not uncommon these days, even outside of tech

- accept that some processes will be frozen under your nose. especially because of longer processes crossing quarters

- expect less respect in the process. They feel like they do not want you. You are expendable

- don't bother negotiating in this market. You get a number and take it unless you already have a job. Even then they may simply pass you for someone more desperate. BTW wages are being suppressed; you're probably not getting pre 2023 salaries right now.

Yeah... if you're not being abused at work, I'd just weather it out.



> wages are being suppressed

"logically, necessarily" as Marc Andreessen says? https://futurism.com/the-byte/ai-investor-goal-crash-human-w...

Now if they could also crash factors like material, energy and profit... consumers could pay pennies using their centinaire incomes.
