Are managerial roles in tech vanishing? I see a lot of postings out there but not one is getting back, even with a rejection email. It makes me think these are all fake jobs. In general, what is the demand trend for managerial positions in this field as of late?

They’re not vanishing, but the bar is insanely high and the market is crowded, so it feels like they are. Hiring is still strong for experienced managers in areas like engineering, data, cloud, and IT project management, but there are way more applicants per role than a few years ago, which is why you’re getting ghosted even on rejections. A lot of “ghost jobs” are also real roles that get frozen or repurposed internally, but nobody bothers to take the posting down

I don’t get the sense that they’re actively hiring. I’ve been applying for months without any response. The positions probably exist, but it doesn’t seem like any of them are currently filling roles.

No rushing you mean? It takes so long to fill a role that they are already overloading a poor employee, not urgent, 3-4 months are fine. lol

I’ve been wondering the same. I’ve seen tons of listings that feel like ghost jobs—either filled internally or created just to collect resumes. It makes the job hunt feel performative. I keep asking myself: is this market shrinking or just more opaque than ever?

Managerial roles in tech aren’t disappearing, but companies are flattening org charts, so openings are fewer and slower to fill. Demand now favors leadership tied to high-impact projects and emerging tech.

I can't figure out if I am overthinking something simple or lacking some knowledge that people formally learn in school.

I work in a sucky IBM cic, making $54k. It’s a full time job with regular benefits and vacation etc, it’s working with government clients. The job isn’t what I applied for & constantly changes. I don’t like that, but I’m a full time employee which is “stable employment”. Btw, I’m in the DC area.

I just got hired for a government contract through Accenture for a Business Analyst role. Pay is $65 per hour. 3 year contract. Benefits too. No PTO. Holidays off with pay, after 90 days.

Thoughts?

Love how BS credit score is. Got my score up to 800 last month only to go on vacation so my credit utilization went up to 8% due to the increased spending and my score dropped 35 points because I didn’t immediately pay the balance after charging the purchases. I always pay my balance in full each month and have never missed a payment, how is 8% credit utilization determined to be that big of a risk that my score got immediately wrecked, I don’t understand
