A couple years ago, sure! Today, the entire tech sector is downsizing.
It's a bit of a weird time. The big guys cut thousands of jobs last year, but if you were willing to go to anything that wasn't FAANG, there were jobs everywhere.
I had ~5 offers within a month of being laid off last spring.
AANF(M) engineers can still write their own check generally speaking.
I still get random emails from companies offering me job interviews every week and I haven't been searching for jobs in over 5 years. The amount coming from the massive companies like Amazon and Google have plummeted, but I still get an email from one of those every few months asking if I want to talk.
