I feel like there are more senior job openings, but fewer entry level and mid level. At least with software, I’m seeing a lot of senior and “founding” posts. Maybe the Internet spy machine just thinks I should go for senior only, but I’d take mid level.
Same in my profession, it’s all manager jobs with no staff, i.e., do all the work yourself. I’m senior level but not qualified to manage, so I just took a barely above entry level position in a vaguely related field for 1/3 of my previous salary. But there’s a $5k signing bonus… because it’s a very undesirable job with high turnover.
