Ask HN: How bad is hiring going to be within the next year?

I anticipate looking for a software engineering job starting ~next month (see below for what I am currently doing). If this were a year ago, I'd feel good; grind some leetcode, get hired at a big tech company for a good salary. Now, of course, such companies seem to be laying off people way more qualified than me, freezing hiring, etc. Am I fucked? I can provide whatever details people want, but I am not sure my personal circumstances are relevant except that I am not an exceptional dev with an enviable resume. The overall question is one many of us have: how bad is the hiring situation going to be in tech over the next year? I also understand it's not one most people can effectively answer, but would like to know peoples' thoughts. I used to be a software engineer. Then I went to law school, and now work in biglaw. I am a year out of law school, and have been working on a legal tech startup with a friend. If we cannot raise in the next couple months, I wish (almost need, really) to bail on the biglaw job and go back to being a dev.
