Brett Wayne, a tech recruiter and managing director at Cypress, said the competitive pressure is unlike anything he’s seen in his 13-year career in recruiting. He likened it to what’s happening in the real estate market.
Is it really?
To win a bid on a quality engineer, companies are offering things like flexible hours, sign-on bonuses and permanent remote work, the last of which has become a requirement for much of the workforce.
So, no increase in wages, just lame bennies. GOT IT. NOT LIKE REAL ESTATE AT ALL.

The problem really started before the plandemic, recruiters were starting to complain that people were ghosting them on interviews and calls - which, as was pointed out, was something recruiters have been doing for decades. Turnabout is fair play.
But it boils down to "It's the money, stupid." The employee market is a little thinner than normal, and companies aren't stepping up their game.

I've been told on the down low by more than one person recently how much money they are making. They are basically lower paid people bragging that they have made over 100k this year on their various jobs.
This it's causing me to wonder if any job market is really "hot". Or if inflation is raising pay so much that everyone is feeling rich?

Employers are competing with the government and the FUD that was spread, so they're trying to get people in to jobs. There's not really any shortage of people, just shortage of pay that matches skills.
No one wants to work for you when you're paying less than the Amazon warehouse, but you want a Master's degree and 5 years experience.

It's true. Having spent 15+ yrs in the MSP/Project side of IT. It does sting to see lower skill jobs pay way more over the years. Just 6 months prior to COVID I finally clawed my way up to 65k by job hopping. In n Out managers apparently often make over 100k. Kudos to them, I know it's hard work. But no offense. I think the amount of technical info we have to recall daily and the skill in diagnostics is a little more than stocking/staffing a burger joint.

I'm doing some very technical work that requires a lot of knowledge myself. I wonder why I'm doing that when the Panda Express manager made a 15k bonus.

If the market was hot wages would've increased this year more than this quarters US inflation figure.
WHICH THEY DID NOT.
From article: A recent Dice report found tech jobs saw an average salary increase of 3.6% between late 2019 and late 2020.

Employers have been bitching about lack of workers for quite some time.
Wages aren't going to go up because employers refuse to raise them.
