Hot hiring, constrained wages
Employers are hiring actively, but pay hasn't caught up with demand. Focus on competing offers and non-salary benefits.
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.

Watch out for
Don't let hiring headlines mislead you—focus on concrete offers. Your leverage may be less durable than it appears—move decisively.
Does this path compound?
Steady work, but limited growth in both jobs and pay.
Openings come from turnover, not new growth. Differentiate to advance.
