Recruiters, how different is the job landscape in tech looking in your eyes? I imagine that with all these layoffs and new requirements coming in, the roles are looking severely different. Can you give us tech folks on the bowl a gist of it?

From the outside in, it feels like job roles are splintering—fewer generalist roles, more niche asks, and a lot more emphasis on AI alignment. Also seeing more contract roles and project-based hiring. Curious how recruiters are adapting their criteria too—does tenure matter more now, or impact?

The landscape has definitely shifted. Companies are being more selective, emphasizing adaptability and specific skills over broad experience. Roles are evolving fast, and keeping an eye on emerging tech stacks or niche expertise can make a big difference.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either. Then you get an interview and they tell you it’s remote/hybrid(1-2-3days, take your pick)/on-site. So, if you work at TD, Scotia, RBC, could you let everybody know in the comments what’s the deal for each? Are you remote, on-site, hybrid of some sort?
