Brainstorming, for those unemployed and for those thinking of testing the job market. What are the best companies for in the greater Seattle area for 2025?

I’ll kick it off with the low hanging fruits (in no particular order)

1 MSFT
2 Apple
3 Google
4 Meta
5 AWS
6 Chewy

I agree with Associate 1. This is the worst time to be testing the market because the job market is awful right now. I have friends that have been looking for new roles for over six months and can't seem to find anything. Its a really tough time to be looking for a job.

Their corporate culture is stuck in the 90s and a lot of their staff comes from the warehouses. They do tech like no one else. Maybe room for disruption by the right person but otherwise expect to conform to some weirdness.

To offer a contrary position, now is a good time to be preparing to test the market and even dipping your toes in the water. Why? If you are laid off, you'll be more prepared. If not, when things pick back up, you'll be ready to run. Just don't expect to get what you're looking for and if you do make a switch, recognize you're more likely to get laid off.

To answer the question in terms of companies, I would look at those who make things in the US and those who support the defense industry fwiw.

Hi guys I am posting this again I have offer of almost same package from Accenture and IBM . Accenture offering is very slight more but that's not my key consideration.

Does anyone run a business in addition to their firm? I’m a solo and I’m doing pretty well with about 60-70 billable hours a month. Though that leaves a lot of downtime. Curious if anyone has any second businesses that require about 20 hours a week. Not looking for passive income or franchise ideas though.

Been in Seattle for ~1 year and something I’ve observed is the constant s*it-talking of the city from the locals. Is this because they haven’t experienced other places? While the current homelessness in the city needs to be handled, crime is still relatively low compared to other major cities. The complaints about gloominess also seems a bit dramatic. I’m from the NE and am so grateful to not be dealing with snowy winters and sweltering summers.
