      Why this market feels harder than it looks

      This market is hiring aggressively, but compensation hasn't caught up and most openings are backfilling churn, not expansion. Employers are filling roles, but not bidding wages up.

      Who this leverage applies to

      Stronger for: Senior candidates with options
      Weaker for: Entry-level candidates, Career switchers

      Where to negotiate

      Base salary
      Sign-on bonus
      Title / level
      Remote flexibility
      Scope & responsibility
      Start date / PTO

      Likely Possible Unlikely

      Watch out for

      Wage disconnect: Hiring is active but pay hasn't responded—negotiate on other terms.

      Don't let hiring headlines mislead you—focus on concrete offers. Your leverage may be less durable than it appears—move decisively.
