In my (unpopular) opinion and experience, companies are realizing that workshop / course trained employees who were after tech industry salaries as well as middle management types can be largely trimmed off after post-pandemic growth. I guess you don‘t need as many unmotivated employees / management / DEI types as previously thought.
All of my friends who feel real love for their work and live and breathe tech are still employed or have no problem finding employment. It‘s these people who drive innovation if managed competently and I guess companies want to go back to that.
This is not to say that it‘s all fun and roses. A lot of tech employees that love tech in itself work long hours, are stressed and are unable to not think about work at home. I‘m that type of person. Companies really profit of these types.
