I want to mention this disclaimer, though: right now, at least in tech roles, it’s currently very difficult to actually land one of these jobs. Listings are getting hundreds of applicants per hour on some occasions. There’s a lot of competition because of recent return to office mandates and layoffs, and it might be awhile before that changes.

And it’s not clear when the current crisis, which began in 2023 and is blamed on warming oceans, will end.

It won’t.
