Get harassment from Google&#x27;s recruiter. And from small companies here and there, now and then. So far it feels a not too much of a difference.<p>But let&#x27;s be realistic. Over hiring exists, and esp in large companies here in Bay Area. That corporate demand to devour whatever engineers in their sight, is draining.<p>Various companies I know, (small&#x2F;medium&#x2F;big companies, from their employees), are running into growth issue. They hit the ceiling. But their workforce is built to handle exponential growth, which is no longer the case. Unless this industry could find new source of excitement, it will stay this way, which means higher entering bar and preference to the experienced.
