Starting to worry that no one is hiring until mid-January because they've only got budget for the extra head count if the country isn't on fucking fire, so they're taking a "wait and see" approach.

@foone I guess it'll also depend on what their definition of "on fire" is. And I fear I know that majority answer.

@foone I think that's the case, yes.

@foone Some of them are probably waiting to see what the Federal Reserve does later this month.

@foone This is either funnier than you intended because it is more awful than you intended, or vice versa.(Well, I mean of course, that's how comedy works, but still...)

@foone you are not the first person I’ve seen talking about this, supposedly a lot of folks holding off on executing on hiring until after November to see how things shake out

@foone I just saw a Calendly link from a place where the window for the posting closed on election week. I think it’s more of a coincidence in this one case only but I had a similar thought

@foone you're probably not entirely wrong! Maybe Palantir is still hiring? They'll probably have business if the cm world's on fire. Assuming you would accept the job...

@StompyRobot I wouldn't work there, plus I'm trans which I think means they wouldn't hire me

@foone sounds like you've got a lot of new company in that, also

@foone I think they'll take whoever will take the job -- they're a federal contractor

@StompyRobot I used to be one of those, and they still had some problems with me being trans and queer

@foone yeah, I’m expecting tech and especially US companies to be a complete shit show until after the US election. Sure I have a job currently, but who knows what shareholders will demand in the next few months. Also, I feel trapped.
