Recent graduate unemployment hit 5.7% in Q4 2025, the highest in four years. Junior-level postings fell 7%. The Dallas Federal Reserve found that workers ages 22 to 25 in the most AI-exposed occupations saw a 13% employment decline since 2022. But the job market hasn’t collapsed uniformly. It has collapsed selectively. Some fields are genuinely…
The full stack developer job market is genuinely competitive right now. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, software developer roles are projected to grow 17% through 2033, which sounds great until you realize that growth also means more candidates chasing the same openings.
