Was it a down\flat\up move for you and were the 3 offers from tech companies or non-tech enterprises?

Totally agree with you it's about skills and capabilities. My start-up folded last year in August. Most good people found new roles in 2 months with matching or better compensation, even people in supporting roles like PM. Some of the more useless ones took 8 months to land a new role at companies like OCBC.
