The whole process took 9 months.
The front door of companies is always locked due to the unintended consequences of trying to scale up HR and recruiting. Hang out by the side door, and an insider will let you in. (Remember that "bad recruiting" is a problem insiders are trying to solve, just as you are.)
The pay is so meh that it is not worth it
The good ideas will continue to be funded, so keeping a keen eye out and being in a position to jump makes sense.
pay is 2x average + bonuses/stock options
still nowhere near US though
I was looking for remote work, could be related?
When I click on a column header to sort the data, a "sorted by 1 field" dropdown opens and covers the top rows of the newly sorted data. Then if I click the x in the corner of said dropdown, it removes the filter (and doesn't close the dropdown). Clicking outside of the table doesn't close it either, since the table is embedded.
Also, this is great but it'd be helpful to add "employees hired" (not necessarily by the same companies that are laying off) since March 2020 too to calculate the net impact instead of having a linear metric that just grows.

Ahead of his time, my man Pud was.
Some of the more recent names I recognise on the layoffs.fyi list are Zillow, Peloton and Robinhood. These have all had unique, headline-making difficulties so perhaps they don't reflect the market as a whole.
It's hard to believe the good times will continue to roll even in the tech sector though. The boost that some parts of the industry received from profound lifestyle changes on a societal scale caused by COVID is history and the boom in tech stocks is long past with widespread and sometimes very large corrections since.
Now the entire global economy is surely going to take a big hit. Some sort of normal life returns but the costs of the economic damage from the virus itself and the huge support schemes many governments put in place come due. The actions of certain belligerent leaders aren't helping. All of this will surely dampen investment so say goodbye to the kind of crazy startup that gets way more funding than it really needs and goes on a huge hiring campaign because it doesn't know what else to do with the money.
I'm afraid some relatively young people in the software industry who think it's normal to job-hop every few months for a double-digit salary raise and to double-or-more their base through stock and bonuses may be about to learn a brutal lesson just as some of us older devs did in the GFC or dot-bomb eras before.
I guess that's not your point though?
Would the OP or someone else familiar with the site be able to provide more insight on the data? The site also allows users to submit layoffs so the data is crowdsourced too:
Where are people moving their money to?
