State of the Market

I've stopped applying for myworkday stuff - I can't get past the algo. Noir - I never hear back although there's plenty of evidence they are legit. I haven't had many cold calls from recruiters except for the maggots promising contracts with great rates but they'll only forward you with references. Also the moment you make yourself phoneable on Indeed you get a tonne of scam calls. CV Library is much better anyway. JobServe could be good but the site seemingly hasn't been updated since 2000.

Thanks for the recomendations - CV library turned up some stuff. Noir? it only seemed to have 1 listing on it.

I don't get put off by Jobserve website being ancient, its still a busy site with plenty stuff on it.

I get a daily email from total jobs too, main issue with that is that the email subscription cannot be filtered to just contracts, so the email is 90% perm roles.

Any more good recomendations welcome.

Personally, I am still in the goldilocks zone - relevant skillset, some cash in hand and not working. So I can afford to take it easy and see if something interesting turns up.

One thing is for sure, I'm a lot fitter and stronger now

Going gym, Friday night at it's best.

Meta announced that will lay off roughly 600 employees within it's AI unit next month.

Meta's chief AI officer, Alexandr Wang wrote:
"By reducing the size of our team, fewer conversations will be required to make a decision, and each person will be more load-bearing and have more scope and impact"


'Load bearing', thats what tech employees have been reduced to, like brick walls in a house.
