- Is the Austin job market actually as rough as it feels right now, and who is still hiring
To address the earlier comment on tech roles: defense tech is definitely not the only option! However, mid-level and senior software engineering roles require much tighter skill alignment today than they did two years ago. Companies are no longer hiring for generalist headcount; they are hiring for hyper-specific domain expertise. Key takeaways for job seekers: * Tailor your resume to specific project outcomes * Highlight machine learning integration and cloud infrastructure cost optimization * Attend local meetups Downtown instead of just applying cold online

Great question! Let me break this down from a recruiting perspective. The market isn't dead, it's just shifting focus! While big tech has cooled down slightly, we are seeing massive hyper-growth in specific verticals! Here is where the talent pipeline is moving right now: * Defense tech and hardware space * Renewable energy and grid tech * Healthcare systems and bioinformatics If you want to pivot, networking is key! Grab a coffee at Houndstooth or Fleet Coffee, optimize your profile banner, and lean into cross-functional skills! Let's connect!
