For those who have been laid off in tech and haven't found jobs, are you looking locally/regionally, or anywhere in the country (e.g. willling to relocate)?

Fully remote jobs are far fewer these days, so I'm wondering if an inability to relocate is a major issue for most people who are looking for jobs in tech. A WSJ article recently noted that there are entry-level jobs available in what they called "second-tier cities" - but the market is tough in the major metro areas.

At this point, I'm looking anywhere and everywhere. I just need to get back to work, even if that means I have to move across the country or across the world.

I have honestly been looking and applying everywhere. The job market is awful and I just need a job at this point. I have already given up finding a fully remote role.

I mostly lean towards local (hybrid or onsite), but, given
the corporate environment nowadays,, it doesn’t make sense to relocate to a different place (even short term)
& be at the receiving end of yet another corporate layoff
or firing (due to financial belt tightening or AI or OR someone’s whims) in a few months..Of course, if someone is in financially tough spot & they badly need
a job, they may not have many options but to relocate ..

If you don’t have anything holding you back, may be a good option. I live in a tier 3 city that no one in their right mind would ever move to and job opportunities aren’t bad even if pay is a bit lower.

Baltimore. I can’t think of one reason as to why I stay here other than I can’t think of any reason anyone else would either.

A little over 2 weeks laid off at this point in Colorado Springs, and I'm hoping for a remote or local job, but a hybrid position (like once a week in office in Denver, ~1hr away) would be fine, too.

Really do not want to move, we have a great 2020-era mtg, our family fits our house really well, and we have communities established for our kiddos.

As a software engineer halfway pivoted to data, it really should not be this hard to find a remote or local role.
