the old advice about q1 and q3 being peak hiring seasons is from a different market. the pattern i'm seeing across the industry and in grapevine threads for early 2026 isn't a peak, it's a slow thaw. feb and march showed the first real signs of life in tech hiring after a long freeze. you're not timing a sprint anymore, you're just looking for the first open lane on the highway.

Yeah was expecting the same poll results. But got wondering why Q3 don't have any votes.
