I was under the impression software engineering, despite the layoffs, was still a pretty liquid market.

I went to pick up an order at Walmart not too long ago (months), and the guy who brought it out was chatting me up. Apparently, he's a software engineer, but could only find work at Walmart.

These are grim times.

I’ve been in software engineering for far too long at this point and it’s always been a relatively easy jump from one job to the next. Luckily, I’ve dodged the recent layoffs, so I’m pretty shocked to hear that there is a lot of difficulty in the market now.

Although… some days… a job at Walmart doesn’t seem like too bad of an idea.
