“It’s not 100% a company market right now… but it is a lot more equal than six to twelve months ago — it was a totally candidate-driven market of individuals naming their price and going wherever they wanted with multiple offers.”
Paone says that candidates with technical skills should still be able to find plenty of opportunities:
