is this a bad time to go to the market?

"How do you see the dev market right now?"
"Is this a bad time to interview?"
My inbox is full of these kinds of questions...
Look, the market is the market.
Sure, there are more devs right now looking for jobs.
But good ones?
Not so many.
Companies are still hiring, they just became more picky.
If you know what you are doing, you will do fine regardless of how the wind blows.
Don't look for a reason to quit because you will find one.
Look for reasons to keep going.

P.S. As most people are giving in to herd thinking and negativity, this might be the best time to get a great opportunity. Your competition won't even try (they are busy reading Hacker News instead of boosting their skills).
P.S. Going into the market, even in a good economy, is a challenging experience. Technical Interviews are hard, companies ask for everything, and even when you do a good job, they might try to lowball you. We can help you with all that; we've been there and done it 200 times. We have a Process and a System. It is not the perfect process, but it works <https://www.theseniordev.com/reviews>. And it is a hell lot better than improvising along the way. Most developers go to the market mounted on a bicycle. Our mentees get there driving a Ferrari. It is a hell lot faster and a hell lot of fun.
For the "price-sensitive" people, this thing is not cheap (because I don't like cheap stuff), but it is not expensive as well. All I can say is... this thing pays for itself. More than the 10 bucks Udemy course that requires 40hrs to finish. That's 40hrs of your pay that you are putting there. You are paying with your time. So if you think we can help you, apply here for a chat with me. I don't have too much time, and I also have a life after work, but there are a few spots left. Apply here now, and let's get you to the next level! <https://www.theseniordev.com/apply>
P.S. For literature lovers, here is one passage from the great Charles Dickens summarizing my opinion of the market right now: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.” => let's market it the "spring of hope" rather than the "winter of despair". Apply here now to see if you qualify. <https://www.theseniordev.com/apply>
