It's insane how many jobs you can get right now. I understand fast food, but I live in an industrial area and do engineer and all of the places around have signs for hiring. They pay more than unemployment so I don't understand what is going on?

Why does it feel like every corporation rides with whatever the government tells them? Something fucky is going on.

My only suspect is that these companies do know inflation is coming and are ready for changes, so are going to do major slashes and only hire truly desperate people.

I would be interested in knowing what they're hiring for, where, how much, and what kind of contract it is.

That could explain a lot. A company I used to work for wanted a senior software developer on a specialty government project, but only wanted to pay about $55k. They got a lot of initial contacts, but when people found out the pay they just vanished because it was an insult.

OMG, that's what my son was offered 10 years ago, right out of college with a BS in CompSci. Small or large companies, seemed to be standard at the time.

This truly was a senior position, experience required - they wouldn't consider a fresh grad simply because you needed some pretty special real-world skills.

It was always amusing hearing (through the grapevine) how many people had told them where to go after finding out the pay.
