    As both a regular engineer (electric/computer) and software engineer… The amount of interest I got as a regular engineer never even came remotely close to the deluge of recruitment attempts I regularly got during the pandemic, but it remains consistent. Even now that it has diminished a bit, it’s still far more.

    This is part of the reason I’m primarily a software developer now because I got recruited and got a huge pay bump, a way better lifestyle, and far better perks.
