Australian devs how’s the job market at the moment?

Question

I&rsquo;m a dev in Australia looking for new gigs. Recruiters were absolutely hounding me 8 months to a year ago. Now it&rsquo;s crickets.Startups seem to be gone. Some bigger corporate gigs have been offered but it&rsquo;s pretty quiet.Is this the reality or am I just playing a bad hand at the moment?

There are definitely less roles being advertised right now.
Having said that - I don't know if it's for the better or worse. A lot of the past roles were highways to burnout.
There are still startups hiring. Also it depends on the domain, language and other factors. C# is still going strong.

Not sure, I think companies can be more fussy and the recruiter spam has decreased. Grateful that I am not needing to look right now.

I&rsquo;ve just got a new role and it took me about 2 months of looking.I did find there were quite a few jobs out there and start ups too, but no where near as much as a year or two ago when LinkedIn was crazy.
