job market is 2019 levels this rhetoric is nice, but doesn't stack up. yes it's not 2021 levels which is where they over hired and hired a bunch of people they would not have hired before then.

This really depends on where you are. In the Bay Area it may be 2019 levels, in other parts of the country it is way worse than 2019.

The tech job market was about 2019 levels a year ago. It's materially worse now.
