Great breakdown on how December's numbers tell a story beyond just the 24% drop. The fact that entry-level positions shrank from 27 to 4 while senior roles actually grew to 33 is probaly the most telling signal of the year. I saw something similar in my own nework last quarter where companies stopped taking bets on potential and started paying premiums for proven track records. The quiet months might actually be when serious builders get noticed because there's less noise competing for attention.

Appreciate it, happy you liked that! AI lifts everyone's baseline, so proven track records (or proof of work) become the differentiator.
P.S. Curious if this pattern holds. Watching it next month.
